Is the TB capable of 802.11n wireless?

[jazzman]

I've done some searching (in the Forums and via Google), but I can't seem to get a definitive answer. Does anyone know whether or not the Thunderbolt will support 802.11n wireless protocol?

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can provide.

Thanks for the link. I'm feeling sheepish, because that was seemingly much easier to find than I was making it.

So, if the TB is capable of 802.11n, does anyone have thoughts on why I can't seem to connect to the n signal of my new Netgear dual band router? The phone just doesn't seem to find the signal.

N can be 2.4 or 5 ghz. The tb probably only works on the 2.4 band.

Ah, that would seem to explain it, as the router broadcasts the n signal at 5ghz. Thanks for your help.

Everything in my house picks up my Netgear's 2.4 band. Only my iPad reads the 5 ghz band.

I suppose I could also do some searching for this, but do you happen to know if any of the Android tablets will pick up the 5 ghz signal? I'd like to get a tablet this year, and I really want to go with an Android, but I might end up with an iPad, if it offers the best product at the best price.

Yes the TB will pick up a wireless N signal. However the range at which my TB will pick up an N signal is a lot shorter than my original Droid Incredible with the same router. I have tested this on four different N routers with both phones and my TB's range is only about 1/3 of the DINC. Anyone know why this is?

It's gotta be the hardware differences in HTC and Motorola.

I doubt it. This technology is still pretty new for the mobile market. Most of the newer routers have the option of both 2.4 and 5 Ghz. We just bought a Netgear router and for now, we are just using the 2.4 Ghz side of the house. My Xoom is only 2.4 also.
