D-Link Goes Draft N 2.0 Certified

Finally, we are seeing some Draft N advancement. D-Link is officially first out the door with Draft 2.0 certification, with their Xtreme N Router and Xtreme N Notebook Adapter being the first products to meet the specification. You will know if it is 2.0 certified because of a unique logo on the box. Is Draft N life-changing? Not really, but if you are to hook up a new network, you may as well go with the latest standard. It should also prove better for those of you who own mansions.

That means the two devices will be sporting a new “distinctive and prestigious logo,” while D-Link can start boasting of the highest level of forwards compatibility in the wild west of 802.11n products. This doesn’t begin to spell doom for draft 1.0 users, but it’s always good to see things settle down a bit in that space while we wait another few decades for the spec to finalize.
