The company claims the products have up to four times the range and up to 12 times the throughput of 802.11g (wireless-G) products. 

However, these are actually “Pre-N” or “Draft-N” WiFi products, which are based on the 802.11n draft specification that has not been ratified yet. 

Linksys said it is conducting extensive testing with multiple vendors to ensure that their WiFi products will perform at peak levels when interacting with Linksys 802.11n products. 

The company said the new products are aimed at consumers who make use of Voice over IP (VoIP) services, online games and other applications which require network bandwidth that greatly exceeds what is available from 802.11g. 

The Linksys WRT300N, WPC300N and WMP300N will be available next month for RM599, RM435 and RM475 respectively.
