engadget.com — Oh my, the 5-0 won't like this one bit. Meet The Slurpr, a WiFi access point which aggregates up to six "available" (read: unprotected) 54Mbps WiFi channels into one bigazz, "free" connection. It's the latest invention by Dutch hacker, Mark Hoekstra and his new sidekick (of is it the other way around?), Boris.

@YabosI dont think you quite fully understand "load balancing". It will not split up individual requests, therefore you will not see any increased bandwith establishing any single session, however each single session will be afforded the least congested link... e.g 2 links and 2 requests, each request will get 100% bandwith on each single link not double.It will not work with bittorrent for each individual torrent anyway due to the hashing algorithm.....

It's "Yagi", and a patch array or waveguide and reflector setup would work much better at 2.4 Ghz. Even a pringles can with a probe is decent.

@Skatmob"Virtual WiFi: Virtual WiFi allows connections to multiple IEEE 802.11 networks with one WiFi card. It virtualizes the WiFi card, and connects each virtual adapter to a different wireless network. It switches the WiFi card across all virtual interfaces to give an *illusion* of simultaneous connectivity on multiple wireless networks."-<a class="user" href="http://research.microsoft.com/netres/software.aspx">http://research.microsoft.com/netres/software.aspx</a>So not likely

One small detail.... Even if you had six access points and no interference you would never reach 324Mbps simply because this router has a maximum throuput of about 40Mbps :P :P
