    Just wondering if anyone has tried to hook up to a draft N wireless router?

    Have you noticed any difference?

    Is the router and/or card upgradable to future drafts of N?

    What router do you recommend?

    Im wondering if i should upgrade my router or not.

    I heard the D-Link DIR655 is supposed to work well with it. I have the n card, but have not used it yet.

    Got Belkin N1, having lots of problems. First of all, Lenovo confirmed that latest a/b/g/n drivers (from Atheros) will not support N rate yet until Vista is officially released. At G rate, I've been having droppout. Right now I'm typing from hot spot and don't have any problems running my Thinkpad N card at G rate. So, its gotta be Belkin N1 router. I'm on my 2nd one now, the first one was defective. Hmm, maybe I should try that D-Link router?
