Hum, given that, are you actually sure you want to use WLAN? Even cards transmit data and especially with laptops, you've got no other choice but to stay close to it. > I read in the reviews that people are achieving 300Mbps so I don't > think the throughput is affected, but what is the functional > difference between N and Draft-N? I'm not sure if this is entirely correct, so anyone is invited to correct me if I'm giving false information now. As far as I know, it's impossible to say whether there are functional differences between draft-n and n. Draft-n just means that the card was assembled/developed when 802.11n was still a draft and no official standard yet. I don't know how much the draft changed in process to ratification, but I GUESS the changes are minimal, if even existent. So I'd rather see that as an age indicator rather than functional delimiter. You can never be totally sure though... Best regards, Mihai -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
