OH NOES!!!

WiFI makers yet again releasing "PRE" standard equipment

So we will see a few (maybe, if we are lucky) good models and a huge number of junk Pre-ac/ac almost models released, once again fragmenting the market and polluting the freq's while we wait for actual APPROVED standard devices.
IEEE standards commitees are such a clusterfuck.

One really does wonder what the point of these devices is considering they cost as much or more than the top tier current generation devices in their quality segment do and you gain no tangible benefit now and possibly later for moving to their model right now.

Let's not forget the amount of Draft Devices that allow for bad practices to carry over to the actual standard, like with the 802.11n standard! I see so many bad practices that break the actual standard I often wind up reconfiguring most Wireless N networks I see and afterwards there is a noticeable improvement in the performance of the network. Let's not forget about incompatibilities and the many different ways cards were designed ("Up to 130Mbps, Up to 144Mbps, Up to 300Mbps" and "Up to 450Mbps" whereas Wireless G was always "Up to 54Mbps" unless you had a proprietary "Up to 108Mbps" card which were far and few, sucked, and expensive).

I'll go with your first sentence: onus on the equipment manufacturers.

I agree with setting the standards, I just wish the IEEE would enforce the rules on the "PRE" release crowd.
time after time they all pledge to wait, and when "someone" chooses to violate they do nothing.
