That means that any products you buy that are certified will be backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g. It isn’t known yet, however, whether they will be forward compatible with products based on the ratified standard.


Glad to know it's backward compatible.

But what the heck does that second sentence mean? Does anyone know the future compatibility of anything?  no2.gif

This is the way it generally is on these "standards"; especially when they aren't owned outright by someone.  Everyone tries to push into line and get what's best for them; just like children at a picnic!
