    This may be a little off topic, but still relevant as I'm asking HP owners with the Intel wireless-N cards the following:

    Which wireless-n router are you using?

    Which chipset does the router have?

    What is your opinion of your router?

    Linksys Wireless-n Broadband Router.

    I don't know what the chipset is? (I'm pretty new to routers).

    I love it so far. Great range+signal quality even across the street.

    People are still wary of buying draft N routers since the standard isn't approved officially yet. My understanding is there are many things that need to be worked out first. Even if intel is shipping them on their new Santa Rosa platform, it doesn't mean it will become the standard.

    ^Now I don't feel so bad about not getting the ABGN/Bluetooth option with my 6500.

    Same thing happened when G came out. No standards but hardware updates took care of that.
