Belkin launching 802.11n WiFi October 22

Even though the standard hasn't been set in stone by the powers that be, Belkin says they're pushing ahead anyway and later this month is aiming to launch their first 802.11n WiFi products which are able to get speeds up to 135 megabits per second, or more than doubles the 54 megabits bandwidth of 802.11g. The key to 802.11n is that it is completely backwards compatible with both 802.11g and 802.11b, something that we always like to see when a new standard is created. And before any freaks out about Belkin jumping the gun and releasing 802.11n gear before the standard is properly set down, plenty of gear makers did the same thing before 802.11g was ratified and most of the time it meant only a firmware upgrade to ensure proper compatibility. But, yeah, buyer beware and all that.
