Title: 802.11n Draft 2
Post by: Razorwindmo46 on August 14, 2008, 09:48:47 AM

From PcWorld;
"D-Link says if you own one of its draft 802.11n D-Link Xtreme N products you can download an update based on the draft 2 of the 802.11n standard. Here is a link to D-Link's support page where you can get the update."

Also from The Inquirer
"DIR-655
It's currently shipping in a Draft 2.0 802.11n specification, or upgradeable if not caught early enough. The DIR-655 we had was shipped before May 8th firmware release, but upgrading was easy enough. It's worth noting that in a recent press statement D-Link stated that there will be no hardware changes in the Draft 2.0 to the final version. All meaning they're confident that a firmware flash will be all that's needed to the complete 802.11n spec, good news there, we believe."

Why can't I find this for the DIR-655? Was it in the last firmware, of which hasn't been since last year?

If you're running firmware version 1.04 or higher you're Draft N 2.0.

Ok, thanks for your reply. I wasn't paying attention when those sites posted.

If you're running firmware version 1.04 or higher you're Draft N 2.0.

Is the hardware also final? If so, what is  the earliest revision that is final (A1, A2. A3)?

Thanks

Draft 2.0 is a software implementation. Hardware will not change.
