Will ASUS upgrade/exchange our WL-500W for free?

[alexlau]

I recalled when WL-500W was on sale, ASUS indicated that they will guarantee 802.11n Compatibility with Firmware or Hardware Upgrades.

Now 802.11n has been rectified, will ASUS start this programme?

The news announcement is here (dated 2007)

anyway the news message says that asus will anounce it, so it should be coming up at the news list:p

Well well. The link goes conspicuously missing now. Time to make some buzz around the gadget blogs?

EDIT: moved = http://lk.asus.com/News.aspx?N_ID=PLmYp3jQ0tfGCsKk but broken

Still think we should start being more aggressive about this. I e-mailed the PR contact on this copy of the announcement (a bit older) asking for comment:
