How fast is 802.11n?
The Wikipedia says up to 540Mb/s, but most of the router boxes at the store today said up to 300mb/s. eWEEK says 130Mb/s, "Netgear's products proved to be the unrivaled speed champs at close distances—topping 130M bps of real throughput—but performance started to lag considerably as the client moved away from the router."
Distance concerns aside, 130Mb/s doesn't sound very fast. Then again, I'll bet my 802.11g setup gets no where near 54Mb/s.
Netgear it is. I hope OS X supports Netgear's USB adapter. Clubmac.com says it does, but Google doesn't turn up much evidence beyond that. I guess I'll find out.
Update: NetGear's USB 802.11n adapter does not seem to work with OS X. :(

Don't forget that these numbers are lies. 802.11g's advertised 54Mbps is in reality only 20Mbps maximum.
Has anyone tried this thing yet on OSX? I cant find any info either - except the Clubmac thing - which looks suspect to me...
