Routers: DI-524 vs. DI-624

Hi

Anyone know the advantage of the DI-624 if you don't use the D-Link
DWL-G650 Xtreme G wireless Cardbus Adapter? I would think that without
the adapter, you won't go faster than 54 mbps and therefore there's no
reason to buy the DI-624.

Unless the DI-624 has other advantages?

Thanks

Hi,
It may have better range or peer to peer file x-fer may be faster if you
ever use it for that. Any how, D-link anything is not my cup of tea.

It depends on hardware revision, but certainly with Rev C hardware
the two products are essentially the *same*.

It's just a marketing exercise: the DI-624 firmware supports has the
Atheros-proprietery 108 Mbit/s speed, the DI-524 firmware doesn't.

It is possible to load DI-624 firmware on a DI-524 so making the DI-
524 support the fabled 108 Mbit/s speed.

Hope this helps
