According to Slashdot and Network World, the IEEE or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has finally ratified the 802.11n Wifi standard.  802.11n promises faster throughput and longer range to your Wifi connections.  Hopefully all of those Draft 802.11n routers can be updated to support the final standard.  The whole process started back in 2002; it’s hard to believe it has been that long!  So keep an eye out on your router manufacturer’s website for a firmware and driver updates bringing you up to the new standard if you have draft n hardware.
