There must be something in the water at D-Link the last few weeks; their product announcements just keep rolling in. I certainly don’t mean that as a complaint however. Choice is a good thing :). This time it’s a $40 Wi-Fi enabled motion sensor which is part of their growing collection of wireless home automation (HA) devices. We have PR […]

As wireless networking has gotten faster and become more reliable, I’ve found myself relying on having a quality signal in more places around the house. As good as my router is, there are a few places where, while there is signal, it’s not quite as fast as I would like it to be. I saw a few new products at […]

It wasn’t that long ago that I added a portable router to my standard pack whenever leaving the house for vacation or business travel. It’s just so handy to be able to setup a Wi-Fi hotspot wherever I need one, and even if I don’t need to share a single for-fee wireless connection, it comes out of the bag because […]

Oddly enough D-Link’s main product showing at CES this year wasn’t in networking, but cameras. My favorite was one that is intended for use as a baby monitor. I know that might sound a bit strange, but it’s all about the sensors – it includes audio and temperature beside the camera. Having a device like that would be slick in […]

Exposing USB connected storage through the router isn’t a new concept, but it is nice to see D-Link catching up to what the other players in this space are doing – especially as the feature will be pushed down to currently deployed hardware, even if it is limited to the newest “AC” kit. Full PR after the click. […]

Even though I would prefer a more wall-mountable chassis, I remember being very impressed by this router and the StreamBoost technology back at CES. Besides the typical things we expect from a modern high-end router (Gigabit switch, AC, etc.) it also offers dynamic traffic shaping to so things like video streaming or gaming take priority over less time sensitive protocols […]

As part of a recent effort to consolidate all of our backbone networking kit into a structured wiring panel, it was necessary to add a switch to the mix. Never having played with a “Green Ethernet” device (D-Link DGS-1008G) it seemed like a good idea to pick one up and find out how green it was in comparison to two […]

We don’t usually cover networking product announcements, but this one was too interesting for me to pass up because I’ve been looking for something just like this for when I travel and need to stay in a hotel that uses web browser based authentication for WiFi access – which isn’t supported by most of the small (Netflix enabled) media streamers […]

You’d be forgiven if it seems like D-Link just introduced the “MovieNite” because it’s only been a few months since the DSM-310 was announced. Obviously they are discrete devices, with the first rev offering only six channels – VUDU, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Picasa, and mydlink. More is better, and channel count matters; so today we get the “MovieNite Plus” (DSM-312) […]
