I just bought this 2 days ago from Dell/ waiting for it to be delivered / here's the thing - did some research AFTER i ordered it and it's NOT a true "N" router here's what i read -

"The Enhanced N150 range is 802.11b and g certified and based on the 802.11n technology."

we'll see if it's any good / just don't be fooled in thinking it's a true "N"

N is still in draft so a device cannot be certified N.

It is a true draft N router like all the rest

This is a good deal

This a "sub" N router supports only up to 150 Mbps.
I brought a TD-LINK "N-lite" router yesterday for $17 and it said it is 100% compatible to N standard but only supports up to 150mbps so it is not 100% meeting the new N standard.

There is no reason to buy any N routers faster than 100 Mbps if it does not come with a G-bit ethernet port at the back. Ttheoretically, the wireless will NOT run faster than the ethernet port, the slow 10/100 bottle neck.

I am not going to buy any of those refurbished router because most of them are more than a year old and all have the early generation hardware problems. The early 300 Mbps N router all run hot and not very reliable.

#2 I don't think the N spec is draft any more.
Count the number of antenna and you will know how fast they run.

Here's the review i read ---

#2 N is standardized now you idiot

Buffalo WHR-G300N is a good router for the money. DD-WRT compatible, super fast CPU, cheap, full 802.11n spec. I'd recommend external antenna mod (or buy from the guy on eBay for like $47 done deal. Good to go).
