You are correct. Netgear's "N" Router is what I bought. They say the
same thing. But talking with the tech support at netgear said more then
likely it will be close to the "N" standard. Which some say is about
6-10 months away.

I bought one and it flys. Real happy with it.

If you buy anything thats final then it will work with the Final "N"
Standard. It may or may not work with the pre "N" That is being used now.

I took the chance on it. It's always going to be backwards to "B&G"
