Wi-Fi Consumers Cautioned To Wait On New Gear

Being first-on-the-block-to-own-them might backfire with the newly-released 802.11n WiFi products. Early testing suggests the products, based on draft versions of the 802.11n standard, aren’t meeting expectations raised by marketing hype. The new technology promises increased speed (over current 802.11g technology) and interoperability between 802.11n products when connecting to wireless access points. MIMO technology (multiple-in, multiple-out) reportedly improves the range and throughput, and replaces Ethernet cabling, but reports suggest waiting this one out a bit.
