The newest wireless LAN specification–802.11n–isn’t ratified yet, but that’s not stopping vendors from releasing products based on a draft version of it. Is this gear worth the gamble? Not if you expect your wireless experience to be easy, reliable or consistent, eWEEK Labs’ tests reveal. The 802.11n spec promises throughput well north of 100M bps–a tempting proposition for users whose performance thirst cannot be slaked. But products based on the draft version of the spec may not be compatible with the shipping spec, which means that users could be looking at significant upgrades or even total overhauls of the draft-based gear once “real” 802.11n products are released (sometime next year).
