First Test: D-Link DIR-665 Xtreme N 450 Gigabit Router
D-Link's new router provides a second choice for those who are just dying to get their hands on the promise of higher wireless speeds. But, once again, it's mostly a promise.

This is the first time we've seen these two high-bandwidth alternative (to Ethernet) networking technologies combined. The combination can provide surprisingly good wireless bandwidth in tough-to-reach spots.
This time, we take a look at an easier way to extend a wireless network, with devices that don't use WDS.
"How do I extend my wireless network range?" is one of the most-asked questions we get at SmallNetBuilder. The first article of this series looks at one of the primary techniques for WiFi range extension: WDS-based wireless repeating.
Motorola and Ruckus Wireless today announced small wall-mount 802.11n AP / switches designed for large multi-room installations.
ZyXEL today announced an 802.11n gateway router designed for controlled-access wireless "hotspot" use.
D-Link today announced a three-stream dual-band 450 Mbps 802.11n router.
We've got the first performance results for TRENDnet's first-to-market three-stream N router. Put away your wallets for now.
The Cisco Linksys E1000 Wireless-N Router has been added to the Router and Wireless Charts.
DD-WRT provides lots more features than NETGEAR's factory firmware. But our tests show much worse routing and a mixed bag for wireless performance when DD-WRT is loaded on the WNR3500L.
Updated: TRENDnet says it will start shipping its three stream N router next week.
I was briefed by both Atheros and Ralink last week on their announcements at this week's Computex over in Taipei. While it wasn't the sole reason for the calls, I was able to get a feel for why we still haven't seen any three-stream N routers, even though the first were announced well over a year ago.
