We found that D-Link apparently needed to find a substitute component, because D-Link said that the 855 is currently undergoing FCC Certification testing for a new revision of the product.

According to D-Link, the "official" word on the resumption of shipments is now June. Anyone want to take bets as to whether they make that date?

In related news, Linksys has dropped the price on its dual-band, dual-radio WRT-600N [reviewed] draft 802.11n router to around $160 street. This puts it within striking distance of dual-band single radio routers such as Apple’s Airport Extreme and D-Link’s DGL-4500.

In-Stat saysWi-Fi Mesh growth slowing

A report just issued by research company In-Stat says growth of the Wi-Fi mesh networking equipment market will slow by 10% from 2006 through the end of this year.

In-Stat says that "strong growth" will continue for Wi-Fi mesh access points for the next several years, as shipments grow more than three-fold between 2006 and 2011. Most of that growth however will come between 2006 and 2008, with growth rates rapidly declining starting in 2009.
