D-Link Unveils The RangeBooster N Dual-Band Wireless Router

Author JoeDigital

D-Link has been a big player in the wireless networking business for years, and they’ve just secured their status with the newly unveiled 802.11n wireless router, simply named the RangeBooster N Dual Band Router. For starters, it operates at either 5GHz or the more conventional 2.4GHz, and after that it just keeps getting better.

It can stream HD video for media players, consoles or, for those old-school geeks among us, computers. Using the soon-to-be finalized wireless N protocol, this device offers up to 100Mbps, which is nearly twice as fast as today’s wireless G, and users of 802.11g will still be able to connect, albeit not at the high speed.

Perhaps the most encouraging part of the package is the price. With an initial retail value of just over $100, Best Buy will be turning it loose at the bargain price of $79. Married men won’t miss another night of football, even if they are sent to the doghouse, because another feature of 802.11n is a far greater broadcast range.
