At the rate D-Link is going, it might as well put a bullet in this product and move on. The company hasn’t even fully recovered from its recall of the product for an assembly error. And now the much-delayed dual-band draft 11n router seems to have disappeared from web retailers’ shelves.
A Pricegrabber search returns a "no sellers listed for this product" and the product has disappeared completely from NewEgg.
We’ve asked D-Link for comment and will post an update when we hear back.

Up to five MediaBridge adapters can be used to connect a router to Ethernet-capable devices such game consoles, digital video recorders and networked media adapters.

A federal court in Tyler, Texas has ruled that a patent owned by an agency of the Australian government is valid and covers the core technology found in current wireless devices.
In February, 2005 the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation ("CSIRO") filed suit against Buffalo Technology, a Japanese manufacturer and Buffalo USA, its Austin, Texas-based subsidiary. The action alleged that Buffalo's 802.11a and 802.11g wireless devices infringe claims of United States Patent 5,487,069 ("the '069 patent"). The patent issued in September, 1996 and claims priority to an Australian filing in November, 1991.
