T428 - 5GHz WiFi helps

[Spotopolis]

I just wanted to point something out. I saw another user mention that people prefer the 908 over the 428 because its $10 cheaper and people don't use the 5Ghz WiFi. I sure do! Granted I get the EXACT same speed as if I ran 2.4GHz, and I get less range (due to one internal antenna 65Mpbs), it is better for me because I use an air mouse/keyboard. The mouse runs on 2.4GHz. So if Im running 2.4GHz WiFi and the remote, the remote isn't very responsive and is jumpy. If I switch to the 5GHz WiFi, I get no interference, and everything works great!

I am still kind of disappointing that the 5GHz doesn't yield better speeds than 65Mbps, but, whatever. It works. I can run all my games, and videos off this sucker, and well.

5Ghz bluetooth performance

I did mention in an old post the benefit of 5Ghz not only for the remote but for bluetooth also. For my part I put my remote receiver at least 6 inchs from the device with a hub, the result is great. An other thing I notice, since I use bluetooth a lot at home is that if I have my phone in my pocket when using my gamepad it lag a lot, but if I put my phone 6 feet away from the gamepad and device I have beter result. Of course if I want nearly no lag it is acheived by turning off all other bluetooth in the house. Anyway using 5Ghz is realy a good jump for better result with remote and bluetooth.
