    So I'm looking for a new 802.11n router, and I was looking at Wikipedia where it says that Draft 11.0 was approved as the final draft in October of last year. But most (if not all) the routers out there are Draft 2.0...

    So should I wait until some Draft 11.0 routers appear, since it shouldn't be that long? Or is there really no difference? (If that's the case, I have my eye on the D-Link DIR-655; is that a good one, or is there a better one out there?)

    There will be no difference in the firmware so go ahead an buy it. If your waiting for 11n Certified it may be 6+mo if not a year before you see them. The current/latest firmware has been accepted as meeting the 11n ratified spec.
