End-to-end networking solutions provider D-Link ( News - Alert) announced a significant price drop for two of its most popular 802.11n WiFi  routers. The discounts represent $20 savings off the previous manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the Wireless N Router (DIR-615) and a $30 savings for the Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655).
The price drops on the DIR-615 and DIR-655 comes on the heels of D-Link launching its RangeBooster N Router (DIR-628), which provides an aggressive good/better/best line-up of 11n families designed to meet all needs.
“Wi-Fi has proven to be the best solution for building out a home network, and 802.11n is an important step in the evolution of the technology, providing exceptional speeds and range for consumers looking to build out a digital home,” said Steven Joe, president and CEO at D-Link, in a statement. “We have the best performing routers on the market, and this aggressive price drop supports our initiatives to also provide the best value in 802.11n with a variety of price ranges and features for every budget.”
D-Link provides solutions for the gaming market as well through its series of GamerLounge routers, offering an advanced Quality of Service engine. GameFuel has been designed to prioritize online gaming applications over other traffic on the home network. The company’s newest GamerLounge router is an 11n Gigabit version that features an on-board OLED Display—the DGL-4500.
“D-Link has been a leader in bringing 802.11n technology to the mainstream and has focused on developing a product line that reflects this commitment to developing solutions for a breadth of needs and price range,” said Norm Bogen, senior director of research at In-Stat ( News - Alert), in a statement. “It is because of this dedication to expanding and enhancing its 802.11n lineup that D-Link has great potential for continued growth in this rapidly growing market.”
The D-Link DIR-615, DIR-628, DIR-655 and DGL-4500 routers are all available through D-Link’s network of retail, etail and catalog partners.
