The Apple HomeKit ecosystem has been a bit sluggish (relative to other Apple kit), so it’s nice that their finally getting a camera via the D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD (DSH-C310). No word on price though… Full PR after the break. D-Link Unveils First Apple HomeKit Enabled Camera New D-Link® Omna™ 180 Cam HD Supports Apple’s Smart Home Ecosystem INTERNATIONAL […]

I like the recent trend to make higher-end Wi-Fi routers look interesting. Stepping away from the old-school canister or plain shell with antenna is especially pleasing. No one has embraced this more fully than D-Link, with the DIR-855L/R being one of the latest crop of performance routers. Sporting a dual-core 1.4GHz Broadcom BCM4709C0 SoC, this 4×4 stream AC3150 (1000Mbps […]

Not everyone wants, or needs, a monster Wi-Fi router that costs $200-300 so it’s great to see that D-Link is bringing out devices like the EXO, that with AC1900 speeds should be plenty in many scenerios and still ahve that angry insect look (that I like) going on. First Router in EXO Series Offers Extreme Home Coverage at an […]

I haven’t had a chance to play with Amazon’s Echo (Alexa) ecosystem yet, but they sure seem to be getting a lot of good press, and OEM support. I think that’s a great thing; we really need some cohesion in the devices market. Today, D-Link announced that their Wi-Fi HA devices will play nice with Echo and IFTTT – […]

D-Link made a few announcements earlier today around new products and features (IFTTT!), but I think the most interesting is a home 802.11AC kit with adaptive roaming. Of all the questions I get asked about Wi-Fi, how to seemlessly extend a wireless network is the most common. Adaptive roaming has been around for ages in the enterprise space, but AFAIK […]

Just when you thought the pace of change in the 802.11AC market might be slowing, it looks like it’s time for another refresh – this time bringing AC3150 forward. The 2nd Ultra (read big-red-spaceship, which I happen to like BTW) model is a “MU-MIMO capable” device based on Broadcom’s 4×4 hardware. Like all the competative models running the same SoC […]

There are a lot of reasons to include a travel router in your kit bag when heading out for an extended excursion. The most obvious, is providing a single interface to captive Wi-Fi portals used in hotels, resorts and many cafés. This can save you some money if a per-device access charge is levied, but even when that is not […]

If I’m honest, I don’t really get the camera aspect of this light switch. I mean it’s cool and all, but as a light switch is in a fixed location it might not be optimal to monitor the room from where it is. The $299 DKZ-201S is packed with environmental sensors though, so from that perspective it makes a lot […]

As nice as Wi-Fi cameras are, sometimes putting a little bit of PoE in your life can provide the reliability and continuous recording magic you’ve been missing in your home monitoring system. The D-Link DCS-2210L looks to do exactly that, and offer a non-Cloud solution for recordings. Today we are looking at the D-Link DCS-2210L camera. This is a full […]

Last January I had a chance to check out D-Link’s upcoming lineup of big-red routers (a welcome departure from the bland canister of previous years :)), with the $290/£215 DIR-890L being the first to ship and the first to make it into “the lab”. Offering a dual-core 1GHz CPU, four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and USB2.0/3.0 expansion it ticks all […]
