I'm unsure how to check that to be honest. The old wireless router at work w=
as a/b/g only. Everyone was experiencing drops to it though, and it complete=
ly lost it's mind this weekend and had to be replaced. My WAP at home is an a=
irport extreme. It is n capable, I don't know enough about wireless to say i=
f it's HT capable. The new WAP at work is a pretty high end netgear. I'll ch=
eck the model as soon as I get there and try what was suggested.=20

Thanks,
