Sometime late last year netgear found a way to double the bandwidth of wireless G products. They have a router with a proprietary standard located here:

called the Model WGT624.
It does what I'm dubbing as wireless N (for netgear) and it also reads B and G standards as well.
Have any of you heard about an emerging 108mbps standard for wireless? I'm about to upgrade from wireless B and the proprietary nature of this product isnt so much a turn off if i can get all my machines working on the wireless N standard...i feel like if it allows me to turn off B and G support i can lock out anyone who wants to piggyback on my network in addition to my WEP. The only thing is that it doest seem to have any USB 2.0 adapters for the wireless aspect...I'm not much for the idea of a PCI adapter when it comes to wireless technology.
your thoughts are appreciated.
