Submission + - Draft-N Wi-Fi now fast and reliable
jcatcw writes: How good are products based on Draft 2.0 of 802.11n? To find out, Computerworld examined Belkin's N1, Netgear's RangeMax Next, the and Linksys Wireless-N..
'Bottom line: The routers and adapters we tested proved that this second coming of 802.11n is indeed a dramatic improvement over existing standards and also over products based on Draft 1.0. None of the products we looked at achieve the standard's originally stated 540Mbit/sec. speed. In fact, these vendors were less grandiose in their claims, claiming their products could achieve speeds in the 270Mbit/sec.-to-300Mbit/sec. range. Even at that, we found that, short of an alignment of the planets or voodoo, these trimmed-backed expectations fell into the range wishful thinking.'
