D-Link 802.11n wireless
D-Link today announced that its first wireless networking products based on Draft 802.11n technology will be available later this month, providing greater real-world throughput, range and security in wireless home and office environments at speeds that mirror wired Ethernet networks. The D-Link RangeBooster N 650 series of wireless routers and network adapters incorporate the latest features made possible by IEEE's 802.11n Draft specifications which, when officially ratified by the organization, will serve as the new high-performance industry standard for wireless networking. The company said its D-Link's RangeBooster N 650 routers and adapters make up the Platinum Plus Series, designed for products for consumers looking to get whole home coverage and ultimate network performance as well as for large file transfers and multimedia streaming.
The D-Link RangeBooster N 650 products will be first on the market to be powered by the AR5008 chipset.
D-Link's new RangeBooster N 650 router (DIR-635) and optional adapters will be available later this month but can be pre-ordered at the D-Link online store: $160 for the router, $120 each for the RangeBooster N Desktop Adapter (DWA-547) and RangeBooster N USB 2.0 Adapter (DWA-142, due in the third quarter), and $100 for the RangeBooster N CardBus Adapter (DWA-645).
