Netgear is making some pretty serious accusations against rival Asus in regards to two of the company's wireless routers, the RT-N65U and RT-AC66U. According to a complaint filed with the FCC and subsequent lawsuit, Netgear says the aforementioned routers that sit on store shelves and are available to purchase online emit higher wireless signals than what the FCC allows. Netgear further alleges that Asus conspired with QuieTek Corporation, an independent testing laboratory, to submit false test results to the FCC to ensure certification as part of a grand plan to eliminate Asus' competitors from the wireless market. We reached out to Asus for comment but have not heard back. That means we only have Netgear's side of the story, and there's plenty to tell. Netgear claims it voiced its concerns to Asus earlier in the year but didn't like the response it got, especially after its own tests revealed that Asus' routers failed a number of tests required for FCC certification. If Netgear's allegations are true, it means the routers in question could interfere with other electronic devices and potentially pose a safety hazard. The FCC won't take kindly to that, nor would it be happy that it was duped, if that's in fact the outcome. On the other hand, if the FCC finds that Asus is in the clear, Netgear could be hit with a countersuit. Asus RT-AC66U Back Since all this went down, Asus issued a new set of firmware that lowers output levels and deleted all previous versions from their website. Netgear believes Asus is trying to cover its tracks. David Henry, Vice President of Product Management for Netgear's Retail Business Unit, provided the following statement to Maximum PC: After Netgear filed its formal complaint and lawsuit against Asus in July 2013, the company released a new firmware update for both routers mentioned in the lawsuit. Typically, when Asus releases updated firmware they continue to provide access to previous versions, but Asus has deleted all of its old firmware from their website for each product. One month ago they had seven firmware versions available for each product and today only one (RT-N65U) or two (RT-AC66U) is available. People can draw their own conclusions about what that means, but we find it very suspicious that they would do that. Netgear's lawsuit against Asus accuses the company of all kinds of tomfoolery, including false advertising, unfair competition, violating the Sherman Act, and other monkey business translated into legal speak. 3.心得/評論(必需填寫)： 2013/08/17 OpTicaL留言: Netgear should spend more time fixing their own shietty routers than waste time testing other people's routers. ASUS releases new firmware updates consistently while Netgear's garbage receives no updates after it's released. 2013/08/17 Meta23留言: Does anyone know what's firmware version that I should go look for for the 300% boost ? 2013/08/16 axiomatic留言: Never upgrade the FW on my RT-AC66U ever again to keep the 200mw option. Thanks Netgear... you'll get skipped next time I look at routers. 2013/08/16 slim818留言: I've had the asus rt-ac66u since December and I love it. I got it because the Uverse gateway sucks and I needed an alternative to route my network. It's the best router I've ever had. 2013/08/16 Hey.That_Dude留言: Hey Netgear, Since you have so much time to test out your competition's routers, why don't you work on better coding your routers? How about fixing the MAJOR and OBVIOUS security holes in almost all of your routers? How about fixing features that you said you'd provide but break your router? How about making a router that I would be proud to buy? Sincerely, That_Dude P.S. To all companies, Let's pick up the gambit and start offering LTS on some of your products. 大意是說: 1.華碩這款產品很好 Netgear最好多花點時間改進自己產品而非花注心力在無謂訴訟上 (米國動不動訴諸法律的行為其實是很司空見慣的) 2.華碩該產品效率原本就很好但因為訴頌而更新版本可是更新版本會讓效率變差 (米國人知道不要更新該產品就能享受原有高效服務) (就算不小心更新但只要再刷回原版本即可) 3.所以網路對Netgear罵聲連連而Netgear在華碩發佈更新版本後就收聲了 (眾怒難犯) 4.這是在7-8月間的事並未禁售只是發佈更新版本但大家不下載更新版就好了XD (因為並沒禁售自然對營收和獲利並未產生影響) (華碩目前主力產品在平板.非常規筆電 Q3 EPS 6.65) 這應該有回答到你的問題了吧~ -- 佛撞牆 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 1.172.133.165 ※ 編輯: rurugia 來自: 1.172.133.165 (11/16 17:42)
