SmallNetBuilder Refreshes

Today we launched a new version of SmallNetBuilder that we hope provides an even better reader experience.

While moving to a new version of our content management system, we also figured that we’d freshen things up a bit. There’s new logo (yes, that’s still our mascot Netster the ant) and we’ve tweaked the layout a bit.

The Login / Register box has moved a bit, but it’s still up at the top right. But the bigger change is the Performance Leaderboard. This box shows the top five performing NASes, wireless routers and wired routers and provides a link so that you can go right to the relevant charts for a better look.

The other useful feature you’ll find in the new site is the Wireless Location Performance Table. We’ve been using this technique to compare wireless product performance in our more recent reviews. And now you can run your own comparisons. Just click the Performance Table button in the Wireless Charts.

As with any big change there are bound to be some humps, bumps and broken stuff. So if you see something that doesn’t work, or a feature that didn’t get ported over, just give us a shout! We hope you enjoy the new look and features!

D-Link DIR-855 Getting Closer?

During my routine check of the Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n Certified product list, I found that the mythical D-Link DIR-855 Dual-Band Draft 11n router received its 802.11n Draft 2.0 certification back on October 3. Shame on me for not catching this before now.

Wideband WLANs on the way?

The final standard is still over a year in the future and the Wi-Fi certification process for draft 11n products is about 3-5 months away. But companies are continuing to put this Beta-test-in-progress (which you, the consumer, are paying to participate in) into end-products beyond wireless routers and adapters. We've already seen draft 11n integrated into notebooks, and now Apple and D-Link have integrated it into networked media players.

The AppleTV announcement revealed that draft 11n capable hardware (from Atheros, it turns out) had already been integrated into existing Core 2 Duo MacBooks, MacBook Pros and Core 2 Duo iMacs (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac). All you need to do is run an "enabler" app, buy a new version of the Airport Extreme (in new Mac mini form factor) and voila, you have an interference generator for your 11b/g network. But something that Apple has done right is to put concurrent (or simultaneous) dual-band capability into its draft 11n products. This raises the cost, but also the flexibility since connections in both bands can be made at the same time.
