I don't seem to see any difference in my wireless connection whether it's on or off so what's it supposed to do? I use a Linksys WRT 301N as my router. Thanks.

he claims he spent a lot of time googling it, but doesn't cite what he found. specifically, he claims that interference robustness doesn't work with non-apple base stations such as linksys, netgear, etc. and that the frequency was not changed in later revisions of 802.11. both are incorrect.

first, the simple one -- 802.11n adds the 5ghz band to the existing 2.4ghz band that 802.11b/g uses.

next, interference robustness deals with microwave oven interference. lucent/orinoco/wavelan/agere/proxim/etc. (it seems the company changed its name almost weekly) has a technote on what it does. they made the original airport in addition to wifi cards for the masses, so it clearly works with non-apple equippment.

and additional discussion in alt.internet.wireless (which references the above link when they were orinoco):
