TRENDnet has started to ship a dual-band three-stream N wireless bridge.

Shipments of the TEW-680MB 450 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Media Bridge announced back at June’s Computex show are on their way to to retailers and should be available to buy in the next week or so.

The new bridge has a built-in four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and supports WPA / WPA2 and push-button Wi-Fi Protected Setup wireless security. It supports link rates up to 450 Mbps on both bands when used with three-stream N capable routers that are set to 40 Mbps bandwidth mode.

Wi-Fi Array maker Xirrus today announced the launch of the Xirrus 802.11n Upgrade Guarantee Program. The program provides customers with a pay-for 802.11n technology upgrade path on Arrays purchased in advance of the standard's ratification, which is expected sometime in 2008.

Xirrus said it can offer the upgrade due to the Array’s modular design. All RF components are located on modular printed circuit boards which can be replaced when 802.11n radio modules are available. An upgrade to an Array's firmware-based 802.11 MAC will also be required.
