Re: Did the OTA today enable 802.11n?

OMFG! Stop with the debate! If you don't have a Wireless-N capable router, you get *NO BENEFIT* from having an N-capable wifi chipset. None. Zip. Zilch. IF you do have an N router, then YES you will get all sorts of SPEED AND RANGE benefits.

Now that said, even on B/G routers, you should still see some boost in performance/range, though probably insignificant, BECAUSE something in the modified driver enables it to use more throughput than usual, NOT because N magically makes your Wifi god-like. For example, I am usually able to get an extra half-step better than the old stock driver.
