D-Link has removed the controversial DIR-655 1.30 "Beta" firmware from its support site and posted version 1.31. The new firmware makes no mention of removing 802.11b, but is still non-downgradeable.
The company apparently wants to pretend that the whole incident did not happen, since it has removed any references to the 1.30 "Beta" firmware from its release notes and has not released any statement on its "feedback" exercise.
Broadcom has announced a single-chip 802.11ac device.
NETGEAR today announced new wireless LAN management products for small and medium businesses.
Cisco yesterday announced an Aironet series access point with dual 802.11n Draft 2.0 radios.
The modular Cisco Aironet 1250 Series access point has a modular design with 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz 802.11n draft 2.0 standard radio modules. Cisco says that the AP can deliver "total data rates of up to 600 Mbps". The 1250 is an addition to Cisco's Unified Wireless Network product line and can be deployed in both standalone and "unified" (lightweight AP) modes.
