Beware Dlink
So I normally like these guys but their latest (false) advertisements are just too much. Their product information page for many routers boasts the routers to be AES capable, yet none of their current routers support this. After a few long calls to sales, I confirmed that the router's in question are "capable" but such features have just not been implemented yet. Hey intel, why not market your chips as capable of 5ghz (in liquid nitrogen cooling which you aren't selling or supporting) and have them run only at only 3.
I can't believe d-link is trying to pull this stuff. Sales said they "might" have capable firmware out by jan. Needless to say, I returned my "capable" but not so capable box for a full refund.
And no, before anyone starts, I don't work for linksys ;p

I bought a linksys wireless print server that was supposed to be capable of AES, but it isn't. After scanning their documentation, which led me to believe it was capable of AES, I finally found a section which documented it was not.
I guess if you have a lot of inventory, you need to imply capabilities which don't exist in order to move the product.
[Final comment re-written. This practice involves a considerable vacuum. Apparently, the word I wanted to use is prohibited.]

I agree that their phrasing gives them some wiggle room:
"The DI-624 is also capable of supporting the government-grade AES encryption and upcoming 802.11i standards."
