What is 802.11n and should I upgrade to 802.11n gear?

I've been reading about the newest wireless standard called 802.11n and am unclear whether it's a smart upgrade or not. My geek friend tells me that it's not an "approved" standard and that there's a risk that what I buy might not be compatible too. Is that true?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
