for 98% of home users that purchase a wireless router... they are doing so to distribute an internet connection throughout there home... that's it.

802.11a and g provide far more bandwidth than the connection they are sharing.

The only situation where 802.11n gear would come in handy is in a business LAN setting where increased bandwidth is important.
When I went 802.11b, I did the math and determined it worked out just right in terms of "Router Speed" versus "Number of Clients/Needs of such" versus DSL D/U "Bandwidth..."

Most consumers do not look at the ramifications/needs of their home network... They look at the numbers fed to them by the marketing pimps...

Thinking "more is better," "sheeple" will pay premium prices for equipment boasting higher numbers which might be more than they need for their configuration. This is not to say that businesses cannot and do not benefit from the various flavors of Wi-Fi.

I suspect there are a good number of experimenters who are posting here at BBR and have attained some real solid numbers in terms of range versus power out versus security schemes; some of them may even be closet hams.

"And the Beat Goes On..."

Cheers, all.
