Borderline FUD. That's an ancient article (2007) about a few specific chipsets from before 802.11n was even finalized. It demonstrates limitations of the specific, poor router and/or client chipsets -- not necessarily the 802.11n spec. That's my reading of it, anyways. Also, the 50-80% penalty is only when WEP is used. Using WPA2, even with those old routers it is considerably faster, but again this boils down to bad implementations.
