Title: D-Link Xtreme N 450 ... When?
Post by: jagster on February 28, 2009, 07:58:08 AM

An announcement in early Jan '09 stated a new router that improves on the DIR-855 with a 50% performance boost.  :o  Additional features include 2.4 and 5 GHz dual band, SharePort, etc., etc.

Any updates on timing for availability and expected price point?

Thx!

I would have to disagree with that statement. I have seen 10MB/s over 5GHz, and upwards of 7-8MB/S over 2.4 GHz.

What I haven't seen, though, is anything close to an acceptable distance/signal quality from the 5GHz radio. I almost have to be LOS at 10 feet or less for a solid connection and that kind of throughput on 5GHz with this router. MIMO appears to have no affect on the 5GHz channel whatsoever.

But the DIR-685 looks much better:

685 IS awesome ;) as for the 450, I've not heard any buzz about it yet. I'm sure we have it in the works, I just can't say when.
