Worse, it is marketing speak "pre-n" as not only is there no N yet, there is no consensus on what N should be. There is even serious talk about moving N from 2.4 gHz to 5.0 gHz, with a single 2.4 channel for backwards compatibility. There are lots of reasons that 2.4 is a bad range for lots of reasons, from microwave oven interference, the fact that house plants block the signal, etc. Its not clear if any of the radical ideas will get traction, but just making N or pre-N be more of G is really bad engineering.
