Question: What are 802.11pre-n or 802.11n (draft) wireless products?

You might see these so called 802.11 pre-n or 802.11n (draft) products on the market, they are actually the wireless products based on 802.11n draft standard. The data transfer rates (throughput) of these products is 300Mbps or slightly higher, but still lower than 540Mbps (expected throughput for 802.11n). These products are also started to be built with Gigabit Ethernet support.

Since there are other versions of 802.11n draft standard to be issued and will not finalized until 2008, the compatibility and upgrade of these pre-n wireless products will be an issue.
