With the wireless market hung up on waiting for the 11n Draft 2.0 dam to break, and with media file downloading showing no sign of slowing down, NASes are a good place for consumer networking manufacturers to focus their efforts. Improved performance, more features and more competition is good for everyone.
Now, excuse me, I have to go test another NAS!

Come to find out that the news item we posted the other day about Netgear releasing 802.11n Draft 2.0 firmware ...
In both private discussions and during the Intel draft 11n chipset webcast, I have been hearing hints about 11n's "bad neighbor" problem having been addressed in draft 1.10. I was able to get Atheros' CTO, Bill McFarland on the phone to bring me up to speed on what actually got into the 1.10 draft. Note that some of these mechanisms were being debated back when Draft 1.0 was being finalized. But since consensus couldn't be reached, the 11n task force punted and didn't include any of them in 1.0.
