Linksys' Wireless-N products hold the most promise for improved bandwidth and range, but there's no assurance that its first offerings will work with other 802.11n products. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers agreed on a proposal for the standard in January, but the Wi-Fi Alliance, the group responsible for certifying equipment based on the standard, hasn't developed an interoperability testing program. The IEEE is expected to ratify 802.11n in about a year. Neither Linksys nor its competitors can guarantee their early products will be upgradeable to support the final standard.
