Digitimes reports that the three leading consumer networking device vendors are holding the line on product prices this holiday season.

D-Link, Linksys and Netgear have mostly kept the price of consumer networking devices—especially 802.11n products—unchanged, instead of resorting to more aggressive pricing to boost sales during the year-end peak season, according to industry sources.
