Time to replace the shockn draytek one, anyone running the 802.11n wireless routers? Ideally i'm after an all-in-one, voip, dsl2 modem, switch (optional). I see the netgears and what not, and that billion dont have one out yet.
Ideas? Reviews?

Cheers

make sure you get one thats guaranteed to be compatible with the ratified N standards.

n has been ratified?

i would have though seeing as linksys and netgear have a retail product available that it is ratified by now? also dont seem to see any products that have the voip builtin.

Its not ratified, but I think its Belkin that have "guaranteed compatibility with the eventual ratified standard"

I'd bet you'll find that is because the marketing department decided they should get them out sooner, despite the fact that the standard isn't set yet.

As long as they have a decent firmware update system it probably wouldn't matter, but it's still a little lame to be shipping hardware before the standards are nailed. Especially something like wireless that appears to be so plagued with standarisation problems already even for the current set of standards!

I'm pretty sure that it has been ratified.

Belkin used to have the "Pre-N" products and now they have the "N1" products.

Also santa rosa platform based notebooks come with "N" rated wireless networking.

I'm pretty sure, but not 100%

No it has not been ratified by the IEEE.

The final .11n specification ratification is expected to be published in April 2008.
