User comments about this story
Trying to figure out when to buy...
Well, this D-Link router looks really good, and I am seriously considering it.
I have a bigger question though, several others have also released 802.11ac routers, but I recently read that the WiFi Certified won’t start until the beginning of next year.
I think that means that this router is not yet WiFi Certified, and I read that this could cause problems with devices that are released after the 11ac certification, so I am thinking of waiting, or getting a 11n router.
Can anyone tell more about this issue?
Should I only buy a 802.11ac router that has WiFi Certification?
