I've been reading up on this newer MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) technology, and while it's not guaranteed to be 802.11n compatible, it's very impressive in its current state. The Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router uses the MIMO technology and is advertised as providing "800% greater coverage than standard 802.11g." This claim turns out to be mostly true (performance noted below). Anyway, it's an expensive router for $149.99 but I was able to get it for $85.00 at an Ultimate Electronics that is closing down!

In the meantime, if you're looking for the fastest, longest range 2.4GHz consumer wireless stuff currently on the planet, then Belkin's Pre-N based on Airgo Networks' True MIMO is it. It's real. It works. And it will simply amaze you. - Tom's Networking
