The draft 2.0 version will be incorporated in the ratified standard. The previous draft may not be compatible. This one does not look like a draft 2.0 version.

I think you're better off getting a router that's dd-wrt/tomato compatiable to insure upgradability of the firmware.

I'm not real impressed with the notebook adapter but its hard to beat the price.

I did in fact see this model, the DIR-615, on the DD-WRT list of compatible devices. So this should solve a lot of the firmware issues. Can anyone confirm?

Gig ports are mandatory for me. Dual transmitters a plus.
