JESUIT - gadget@TTS -Ep26- Belkin Draft-N Wireless

http://www.TheTechStop.net Pre-N 802.11n wireless devices have been available for quite a while and they have not been received all that well in general. Quite simply, many consumers didn't see the point of upgrading their gear to a new standard that may or may not be compatible with their current wireless devices while offering performance that wasn't all that much better. Furthermore, the uncertainty of the final 802.11n standard seemed to doom 'N' to an early grave. How quickly times change.... With the end of 802.11n standard ratification odyssey in sight, and with increasing quality, compatibility and performance of the gear, we might finally be seeing the start of the switch to 802.11n multipath (MIMO) wireless. --- In this episode of 'gadget', we take a look at Belkin's Draft-N salvo in the form of their N1 line of wireless devices. With decent performance, simple setup, and a price point that makes it a no-brainer to choose over 802.11b/g gear, Belkin might just change your mind about wireless.
