[quote Black Landlord]Everyone here loves Buffalo, although they're discontinued...
To set the record straight, Buffalo routers are not discontinued. The company is complying with an injunction imposed by the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Texas with respect to the offer to sale, sell, use, import or manufacture of Buffalo’s IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g standard compliant products. The case is under appeal to the US Court of Appeals. Buffalo has already succeeded in its case in Japan. Buffalo was picked as the target of this legal action, but it could ultimately involve all manufacturers of wifi devices. Nineteen (19) companies; including Cisco, Intel, and Microsoft; have made amicus filings supporting Buffalo. http://www.buffalotech.com/press/release...ro-appeal/
The whole mess was begun by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), a govt. group that obtained Japanese patents for wifi technology. These patents have since been ruled invalid by the Japanese.
