D-Link Announces New 802.11n Routers

At CES this week, D-Link introduced two new 802.11n routers: the touchscreen D-Link Touch DIR-865 and the portable D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router.

"The Touch supports true dual-band capabilities, working in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at the simultaneously," writes CNET's Dong Ngo. "Three data streams offer throughput speeds of up to 450Mbps when used with the same standard wireless clients. Like all Wireless-N routers, it's also backward compatible with earlier standards (802.11a/b/g)."

"For those on the go, D-Link introduces the D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router," writes PC Mag's Samara Lynn. "It's a portable router that lets you create an 802.11n wireless network wherever you may need it, or it can be used as an access point to extend a Wi-Fi network from an existing wired one by plugging it into Ethernet. At the right size, it could take on the Novatel MiFi."
