:o What better way for the wireless network industry to weasel the consumer into replacing their hardware every six months. By not having a final standard for 802.11n and changing the preliminary standards on a regular basis one must replace their hardware regularly in order to have the fastest throughput. Last months N client may not work with next months N access point.
That depends on if the device needs an upgraded/replacement chip or if the use of a microcode flash will do the upgrade to the standard. So long as you can just use a microcode upload (as you can for your router) the device can be easily made compatible with the updated/revised standard as it evolves.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21041067 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:21:39 EDT Re: N Stands for Not Ready Yet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21039207 bigfitch : I went to Wireless N and have had yet to have any problems.

Maybe when N becomes standard and ages a few years. Then maybe I'll upgrade.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21038654 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:27:42 EDT N Stands for Not Ready Yet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21036150 Mr Matt : :o What better way for the wireless network industry to weasel the consumer into replacing their hardware every six months.
