Network World Fusion, 11/15/02

D-Link this week said it will release a firmware upgrade to its existing AirPlus line of wireless products that will increase actual throughput by 50%.

D-Link614plus.jpgD-Link says its D-Link AirPlus Turbo firmware upgrade will provide throughput of up to 12M bit/sec. for its products. On average, 802.11b-type products yield an average of 3M- to 4M-bit/sec. of real throughput, D-Link says (I've heard reports of 6M bit/sec. throughput as a maximum). The firmware updates will be available for free in December from D-Link's Web site (www.dlink.com) or in retail outlets for $29.99 (software/drivers).

The drivers/firmware upgrades will be available for all the D-Link AirPlus line, as well as the D-Link AirPro line of products, the company says. This includes the DI-614+ (pictured) and DI-714P+ wireless broadband routers, the DWL-900AP+ briding/repeating access point, the DWL-650+ cardbus adapter and DWL-520+ integrated PCI adapter. The AirPro line of dual-band 2.4/6GHz products includes the DI-764 wireless router, the DI-754 dual-band wireless router and DWL-6000AP dual-band wireless access point.

D-Link also said it will be providing a multimode IEEE 802.11g draft compliant wireless networking line of products at the end of Q1 2003. The new family of products will provide speeds up to 54M bit/sec in the 2.4GHz frequency range, D-Link says.
