Has anyone heard anything about the Linksys G router that is available being replaced by one that is 802.11n spec? I know it isn't really relevant to the phones, mobile or home, themselves but would be a nice option for those wanting to use that standard for other devices on their network. ie - why have two WiFi routers when you could have one?

make sense, you can hook up 2 routers in your modem. i have 2 routers, one the @home service and other, just a regular wifi router, what i am saying is you can use your @home service with an another N router.

I know you can use two routers accessing one WAN. :rolleyes:
But why bother using both when one SHOULD do?:p
Just trying to see if an N router is on the horizon to keep the clutter & $ down.

I connect via my Linksys draft N router via the 6301b now running 8.22 firmware. This is a UMA situation and not the @Home. Is there a reason @Home will not function the same way?

The @Home router has two slots for SIM cards.
The point of the @Home router is two-fold. It has the SIM slots for home phone service & the router has been "optimized" for use with UMA. (never seen details on the optimizations, assume it involves brewed QoS)

I guess I should clarify my question, or the reason for it:
Will a N router with SIM slots for @Home service be on the market anytime soon?
(I don't like having 2/3 devices when 1 will do)
