Meh, the spec isn't even finalized yet. I doubt it will be too much different than now, but there has been some ongoing wrangling. Even then, for 98% of people the speed to the WIFI speed won't be the bottleneck, it'll still be the network connection. And even if you do get Wireless N, the performance of it degrades really quickly over distance. If you want the extra speed, you need to be in the same room.

I just don't think it is worth any extra money to get 'N' draft capable routers yet.
