Pre-N systems

Has anyone tried out the new Pre-N wireless systems yet? If so any
opinions or comments? I've beey looking at the Belkin systems and I'm
digging in for some serious research now. I am aware the standard
hasn't been formalized as yet.

Thanks!

I have the Belkin Pre-N equipment (router, wireless desktop and wireless
notebook cards). They perform flawlessly with dramatically better range and
speed than my previous Linksys "G" system. I upgraded for the increase in
range more than for the speed increase. In what I consider a torture test,
I can successfully and consistently backup and validate over 30 GB of data
over a distance of about 20 feet and up one level of stairs in my house,
which I was not able to do with the "G" system. As to the "pre" standard
designation, at the current cost of equipment, I figure there isn't a huge
financial downside to upgrading if something significantly better is
included in the final "N" standard. YMMV, of course.

I have heard about the dramatic increases in speed and range,
(Particularly range). I don't think there will be a problem once the
standards are set. I'm sure new drivers will be available for download
and we won't need to buy replacements for "non-standard" equipment.
Looks like it may be time to buoild in he expense into the budget.
