D-Link to Offer Draft N 2.0 Approved Starter Kit

By Calvin Azuri, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Draft N 2.0, which will help with the Draft N certification, is being offered by D-Link with a compliant starter kit, according to a report on the website Trusted Reviews.
 
The report quoted the company as saying that although D-Link has announced Draft 2 compatibility for drivers, they have to be certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Though certification was originally slated for June, the large number of vendors submitting products for approval would force D-Link to wait for August to begin certification.



 
Titled the 'D-Link Wireless N Starter Kit' (code: DKT-410), the hardware package is the first Draft N 2.0 ready package to be available in the market. It comprises the DIR-635 Wireless N router and a DWA-140 Wireless N USB2.0 adapter to plug into either a notebook or desktop.
 
According to the report, both these products support WPA and WEP security standards and include D-Link's own 'Click n Connect' set-up wizard which claims to have users ‘up and running’ within minutes. Additionally, the entire starter kit is covered by an 11 year warranty – reportedly the first in the networking industry.
 
According to sources, the Wi-Fi Alliance had already stated that chipsets from D-Link suppliers Atheros, Broadcom (News - Alert), Marvell and Ralink, are compliant. Hence, D-Link issued the first Wireless N 2.0 upgrade that provides compliance with the latest version of the 802.11n specification.
 
The D-Link Wireless N Starter Kit is available for £139.99 RRP.
