OK, found out some more stuff:

1./ List of n products, incl. Drft 2.0 enterprise stuff (not much)
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/wbc...te_to=&x=30&y=18&selected_certifications[]=33

2./ Draft N started in 2004 but isnt due for finalising until Dec 2009!!!!

3./ N is a bit of a whizz... it isnt really much better than g other than range and the use of channel bonding. We talk about "g" being 54Mbps and Super-g (bonded) at 108MBps. Well it seems that "n" is really going to be a "super-g" with mimo technology and MAYBE-IF-YOU-ARE-LUCKY the ability to resolve at double super g. But it isnt like a step up in the same way you get from 10/100/1000BaseT, or indeed from "b" to "g".

"b" to "g" was a "theory" improvement of 5, but an in-practice improvement of 2. It seems that "g" to "n" is a "theory" improvement of 1-2, but an in-practice improvement of 3. Ie. it's not making big changes to theoreticals, but with MIMO should be more successful at achieving the theoreticals.

4./ If you are in the 2.4GHz band range, you are NOT likely to get better speeds due to congested "b" and "g" airwaves. Just more range. But in 5Ghz band range, you could get much closer to the theoreticals.

CONCLUSION
If you go "n" you must get Draft 2.0 and 5Ghz compatibility

good info. both of my home routers are wireless n draft 2.0 and 5ghz compatible. both run very fast at decent range.
