TRENDnet has just announced its new 300Mbps Wireless Easy-N-Upgrader device to get you in on the high speeds that draft-N is delivering.

But instead of having to buy another router (as I did), you can upgrade your existing wired or wireless router to 802.11n.

TRENDnet says it will cost 15-20% less than a standalone wireless n router. No word yet on availability.

We are stuck with "draft N" as CSIRO has "refused to provide a letter of assurance to the IEEE working group developing the much-delayed 802.11n WiFi standard."

The Wi-Fi Alliance has started interoperability testing of 802.11n Draft 2.0 products. That means "WiFi Certified" products should hit for retail before summer is out.

While cross-platform certification testing of a draft spec is unusual and likely won’t guarantee 100% compatibility, and the final IEEE spec is expected  September 2008, I already have my N Router.
