Why are only A3 and A4 Green verified?
« on: March 05, 2009, 02:40:37 AM »
As I know A1 and A2 use Vitesse VSC7385XYV. A3 and A4 use Realtek 8366 and it seems to be SR, so do DGL-4500 and DIR-855.



Although these green features do not cause so much power saving actually(several measurements on other brands are taken), i still want to know why A1 and A2 cannot get the certificate.
Can't it be done by "Software update"?

Probably:

A. the certificate is just a marketing thing (like you said:"these green features do not cause so much power saving actually")
B. those revisions are simply not sold anymore (unless there's someone with stock)
