Linksys Ships Dual-band, Tri-standard A+G Wireless

Anonymous Howard writes "Designtechnica has a news article about LinkSys shipping to market their new line of wireless dual-band, tri-standard A+G products. They support 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g simultaneously with speeds of up to 54mbps. I could actually bring my laptop home and not have to switch my wireless card and settings! It comes at a pretty hefty price though, $299 for router and $279 for access point. I think my fingers could handle the exercise a bit longer until prices come down. Who here is willing to fork out that much for tri-band gear?" This is exactly what I've been looking for since I got an 802.11g wireless card. All of the 802.11g access points I've seen couldn't operate in 802.11g mode so long as older cards were in the area. Finally, I can upgrade my systems over time.

Dell's offering... by craenor · 2003-04-19 05:08 · Score: 3, Interesting

Dell now offers a mini-pci card in their newest D series laptops that is a wireless a/b/g card...I realize that isn't router, but it's the only a/b/g card I've seen.

Having that kind of diversity in a card for your portable makes more sense to me then having that kind of diversity in your router.
