This is true, but configuring "properly" for this application may be
impossible if you live in an apartment complex.  For this to work, there
can't be any wireless networks in range on the channel you're using, OR
on any overlapping channels.  802.11 signals are three channels wide, so
if you're in an apartment complex or dense housing development it may be
impossible to find a clear one.

You also cannot have any 802.11b clients on your 802.11g network if you
expect to get this kind of bandwidth out of it.
