Firmware update question.

[RoConno]

Can a firmware update for a router change it from 802.11n(Draft) to IEEE 802.11n or does it require a hardware change?

according to that document it should be upgradeable between draft versions and the final . . . if i'm reading it correctly

What model are we talking about here?

Depends on the model of device. Some devices had hardware that was final N compatible and needed only software, some needed hardware changes. Some had fine hardware but never had a software update.
