Klaus - 802.11n

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n#802.11n

looks like speed and longer range are the primary improvements.

In fact, looks like they are explicitly *not* redoing security:

This is expressed in the task group's charter by requiring that 802.11n be written relative to a baseline specification incorporating 802.11 and all of its amendments, both completed and in progress. Thus, the allowed changes will be enhancements: No existing functionality will be subtracted. In addition, only those existing mechanisms that pertain in some way to higher throughput will be altered. Other mechanisms, such as the security framework built up in 802.11i, are out of scope.

different article, sorry I have the info in my clipboard, but closed down the page... something at eetimes I think.
