Buffalo’s 802.11n WiFi dongle: small in size, tiny in price

Posted in: Today's Chili, usb, wifi

Small, fast, and cheap… what could be better? Buffalo’s WLI-UC-GN 802.11b/g/n dongle measures just 16 × 33 × 8-mm and costs a mere ¥2,100 (about $24). It supports both Buffalo’s proprietary AOSS and the Wi-Fi Alliance’s WPS to simplify the process of connecting to secure WiFi networks. Look for the USB 2.0 adapter to ship in Japan and beyond starting next month. Check the hot male-to-female USB bunging after the break.

TRENDnet unloads one more at CES: TEW-673GR Wireless N gigabit router

Posted in: router, Today's Chili

If you haven’t seen enough of TRENDnet here at CES, you haven’t been looking, but for those in need of a new wireless router, these choices are certainly sights for sore eyes. The latest entry from the company here in Vegas is the TEW-673GR 300Mbps Concurrent Dual-Band Wireless N Gigabit Router. Constructed with a dual-band Atheros chipset, the device can handle both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks simultaneously; essentially, this enables low-bandwidth clients to be assigned to the more congested 2.4GHz band while high-bandwidth, latency-sensitive applications (such as HD streaming and online gaming) head to the uncongested 5GHz band. Can’t help you out on a price, but it should be filtering out in short order.

TRENDnet churns out TEW-647GA Wireless N gaming adapter

Posted in: router, Today's Chili, wifi

Not quite sure what makes this “gaming router” so suitable for you “gamers” out there, but TRENDnet‘s a firm believer that its CES-announced TEW-647GA is ready and willing to handle those online deathmatches. Though not nearly as minuscule as the TEW-654TR, this 300Mbps 802.11b/g/n router promises a lag-free connection (provided that your broadband connection is worth a darn) and simple setup with PCs and all manners of game consoles. Check it someday after today for some price greater than a penny.

Posted in: router, Today's Chili, wifi

Looking to drag that 802.11n connectivity with you to even the zaniest of places? Those newly implemented baggage rules totally cramping your style? Enter TRENDnet‘s TEW-654TR, a 300Mbps Wireless N Travel Router kit which is supposedly small enough to slip completely away into the average front pocket. The device only has a LED indicator, 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, a MIMO antenna and an AC socket. No price is mentioned, but don’t count on the sticker being proportionally small.

D-Link’s DCS-1130 WiFi monitoring camera sends footage to the web

Posted in: Today's Chili, wifi

Yeah, it’s kind of creepy, but we’re sure D-Link had the noblest of intentions when crafting the DCS-1130 802.11n Wireless Network Camera. Said device offers paranoid homeowners the chance to login from practically anywhere and view live streams of their camera, and the 16x digital zoom is sure to give you a totally pixelated look at whatever stranger happens to meander around in your yard before moving on. Better still, those who simply can’t go a moment without a look back home can view the live streams on a 3G cellphone, though a wireless router supporting WPS must be involved in the configuration. Mum’s the word on a price, but it should be noted that a wired-only version (DCS-1100) will also be available for those who don’t trust the airwaves.

D-Link’s Xtreme N DIR-685 router is also a digiframe / NAS device

Posted in: router, Today's Chili, wifi

Go ‘head, D-Link, get down with your bad self. Seriously, we can’t remember the last time a router got us all hot and bothered, but this one’s just too wild to not get stoked about. The Xtreme N DIR-685 is hailed as an “all-in-one home network router,” and we’d say it puts a new meaning to “all-in-one.” Aside from handling the normal duties of an 802.11n wireless access point, the device also includes a 3.2-inch LCD for displaying photos and / or widgets. As if that wasn’t zany enough, it also supports both UPnP server functions and BitTorrent downloads. How so, you ask? The twin USB ports on the rear enable users to plug in vanilla external hard drives and essentially convert them into NAS drives, making the data on each accessible over the web. Sadly, no price is mentioned for this conglomerate, but we don’t expect it to come cheap.
