Scripting News: Pre-N perf boost?

Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Pre-N perf boost?

Earlier this month Apple shipped its new Airport Extreme wireless router, and compatibility for certain Mac laptops and desktops. By now some people should have them.

Question -- how's the performance? Is it delivering 5 times the throughput? How about increased range?

Thanks for all the info about the Airport Extreme and pre-N routers. This is what makes Scripting News so great, all the smart generous people who are willing to share what they learn.
