Draft N approved doesn't necessarily mean that a Router meets the now finally approved current Standard. The Router could require nothing, a Firmware upgrade, or even not be able to meet the now finally approved Standard. The main reason for this is that Companies forged ahead with their idea of "Draft N" because it was taking so long. There is nothing wrong with G Wifi and G works and plays well with N. It is not like the old problem of B & G Wifi not playing well together and pulling the whole wireless network down to B level if mixed. Also G is more then qualified for use with Squeezebox. Would N help in some cases, sure it would. It could also very well make things worse is other cases. As for retrofitting, I can't speak for Logitech but I can almost guarantee that you'll never see that happen. The current new models being released at the end of the month and in December will both come with G Wifi cards. At some point in the future will Squeezeboxes come with N Standard Wifi, I am sure they will. Will that be before or after G cards are no longer available, I can't say but I'm betting it will be later rater then sooner (I would bet cost and only cost will drive any change to N). Again these are my opinions and considering that N doesn't make that much difference to the device's performance I wouldn't look for a change anytime soon. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67882 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
