Will my Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n draft 2.0-based Wi-Fi product work with products that are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and designed to comply with the final 802.11n standard?
When the final 802.11n standard is ratified by the IEEE, the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED program will be updated to align with its requirements. This is expected in 2009. At this point it is not possible to determine whether “forward compatibility” with the final standard will exist, but it is widely believed that at least some manufacturers will be able to upgrade equipment via a software update.
ser melhor é, mas até sair a norma final ninguém garante compatibilidades... a norma n e pre n foi a maneira q os fabricantes inventaram de continuar a vender e tentar que os antigos equipamentos fossem substituidos.
se é para substituir um equipamento actual, eu esperava até haver uma norma final definitiva
