The 802.11n technology, as it is known, was ratified by the IEEE, a body that oversees all wi-fi standards.

But without the IEEE’s approval, there were no guarantees that future networking equipment would be compatible with the devices. The IEEE’s rubber stamp has changed that. All existing draft 802.11n wi-fi products will work with the final standard, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group that tests…
