As I surmised with the review of Buffalo’s Nfiniti draft-n wireless products I felt it wouldn’t take long for the rest of the pack to catch up. Sure enough, D-Link is next onto the bandwagon with its latest Platinum Plus router and PC Cards. Whereas Buffalo uses Broadcom’s Intensi-fi chipset, D-Link has opted for the XSPAN chipset, which is no surprise seeing as D-Link is one of Atheros’ biggest fans. Furthermore, Broadcom and Atheros have snuggled up together and publicly confirmed interoperability between their respective draft-n solutions. However, the stuff that’s really making the news are the bold claims of dramatic improvements to performance and range. We’ve already watched Buffalo’s Nfiniti fail to deliver so how will D-Link fare?
