Hello JavaLawyer,
Can you tell us the hardware differences between the A & the B rev.
Thanks,
I can't speak to specific differences, but can say that D-Link typically creates new hardware revisions to make minor (under the hood) changes or improvements to the original hardware design. Based what I've observed in the D-Link router family and legacy ShareCenters, some examples of changes that would merit a new hardware revision may include things like a smaller power supply or slightly different component specifications (e.g. swapping out capacitor "A" for capacitor "B"), etc. Depending on the nature of the change, a different firmware development line is sometimes required. For example, the DCS-932L hardware revision "A1" and "A2" both use the same firmware family, while the DIR-615 has hardware revisions A, B, C, E, and I, all with separate firmware. From the perspective of the end user, there shouldn't much (if any) difference between revisions -- so long as D-Link keeps the different firmware development efforts synchronized for each release.
