"It's silly to think that the first draft n version would be the eventual standard," he said. "But that is all right for consumers who just want to use the equipment at home. They don't have to worry about compatibility or even upgrading their old equipment."
What happens when Joe Sixpack's Draft 1.0 router takes a dump and he has to buy a new one that is truly compliant? Will it work with his notebook and other draft 1.0 equipment? Very doubtful. Even worse, if his wireless card goes south and needs replacing and the new one is compliant, but hey guess what? It won't work with his old draft 1.0 router. Now he has to buy a new card AND a new router. much to the Linksys, D-link and Netgears delight. It is irresponsible to sell non compliant hardware YEARS ahead of standard ratification. Where is the consumer protection we are supposed to have? Well anything for a buck, right? - Posted by: nECrO_z Posted on: 08/14/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
