Linksys "SRX" technology

Has anyone tried the new Linksys routers with SRX MIMO technology?

Just curious how it compares in distance to the new ParkerVision "D2D" APs.

and I saw in the store an SMC AP that claimed to have 200mW output...

Would be interesting to know if they add range for clients with plain old
802.11b adapters and not the special cards the manufacturers recommend.

I have not used the Linksys, but I am now using the D-Link with MIMO. On my
DI-514 I had a GOOD signal in my back bedroom when not using a repeater,
Excellent with repeater. Now I have a Excellent signal in the same place
with no repeater using the D-Link DI-624M.

I am not sure how exactly Linksys is implementing MIMO, but it is my
understanding that MIMO will not necessarily give you better distance
but actually it enhances coverage. It does not go farther but makes
coverage inside where there are many interference sources easier by
having multiple inputs each looking for signal on difference axis'.

The distance/range gain you receive with Parkervision equipment is
actually due to the D2D technology and other superior radio
technology. And BTW the distance Parkervision provides is no joke, it
is for real, great range even with non-Parkervision 802.11b adapters.
