802.11n limps onwards

While we're still amazed that Wi-Fi works so well, we're all itching for the better coverage and increased speed 802.11n. What's taking those IEEE geeks so long? It's been, like, two years now.Wkr0003

In the meantime, D-Link is yet another manufacturer to go it alone with its own Draft N standard. HELLO - the only reason Wi-Fi is so great is that is just works. With EVERY manufacturer's kit. The last thing we want is proprietary, incompatible standards.

D-Link is committed to producing a Draft N range of products that provide consumers with the optimum wireless performance while the standard is beingfinalised and ratified. D-Link has established an informative micro-site for consumers that clearly discusses the advantages in terms of speed and range, whilst also highlighting the interoperability issues consumers should consider.

The D-Link's RangeBooster N 650 Series has been extended with the launch of the DSL-2740B ADSL Modem Router, DWA- 547 PCI Card for laptop computer users and the DWA-142 USB Adapter. These products are now shipping and come complete with D-Link's Click'n Connect software for easy installation.

Come on IEEE - get your collective arses in gear. We'd love to see some proper 802.11n kit at CES.
