[cnet] 802.11n Wi-Fi standard finally approved.

We have been seeing many computer, network, and mobile devices with the 802-11n or Wi-Fi "N" label or logo. To be exact, these devices are still actually on the "Draft-N" specification.

But finally, IEEE has approved the 802.11n high-throughput wireless LAN standard.

You have an existing device on Draft-N? Do not worry, because "most" of these Draft-N devices (I hope mine included) can be upgraded to the final specification via firmware flash/upgrade. So check the manufacturer's site soon.
