WAP

So you want both the 2.4Ghz and the 5.8Ghz ?

Yes. I want dual band and the pre-n support (so that hopefully I can add the n support with a firmware upgrade after they finalize the standard).

The closest I've come is the Netgear WAG102. It supports, a, b, and g but provides nothing towards pre-n support.

Any suggestions?
