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

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the all-skate-everyone-skate dept.

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.

      They sure are! How much do they cost and how long do I get? I won't need long.

    But hasn't slashdot been exceptionally flaky lately? Comments not reappearing, pages disappearing, getting a page full of ads.... or maybe it's just a bug in Phoenix. :-/
