Yes, as you might expect, it appears that Draft 802.11n is actually used in the products. The FCC report for the WRT100 router shows test results for both 20 and 40 MHz Draft 802.11n OFDM modes, including spectral plots.
So why not say so? My guess is that one of the reasons might be to avoid price erosion of Linksys’ Draft 11n products. After all, if you can get the benefits of Draft 11n for a hundred bucks, why pay more?

As I described in my last post, Draft 1.10 is a big step forward for 802.11n in terms of compatibility with existing 802.11 b/g wireless networks. It's so significant, that I'll be backing off my pledge of no reviews of draft 11n products and reviewing 1.10 compliant gear when it starts shipping.
If you've been following along with me on my web adventures, you know I've been here before. The last time that SmallNetBuilder graced the Etherwaves was Dec 31, 2003 and morphed into TomsNetworking the next day to start the new year.
The folks over at TG Daily have been having good luck with not requiring registration for using their Comments feature. So far, at least, they haven't been overwhelmed with usual load of spam postings that such things usually bring.
