Effective immediately, the MSRP of the DIR-615 has been reduced by $20 to $79.99 and the DIR-655 by $30 to $149.99. This brings street prices down to as low as $50 and $120, respectively.

Both routers are single-radio, single band models. D-Link did not announce price cuts on any dual-band models. But it recently introduced the single-radio dual-band DIR-628, which is street priced at under $100.

Update: CSIRO shuts down Buffalo WLAN shipments

Updated 6/21/07

Last Friday, a federal court in Texas granted Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, an injunction to prevent infringement of its wireless network patent by Buffalo-group companies in the US. The injunction prevents the sales of all wireless LAN products by Buffalo until a license for CSIRO technology is negotiated.

CSIRO had begun a test case against the Buffalo companies in February 2005 in Texas, after the industry had failed to accept CSIRO’s offers to license its wireless local area network (WLAN) patents on reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) terms.
