If you're looking to squeeze all the speed you can out of a home network, D-Link believes it has the perfect product for you in 2009—and it has plenty of other products in home networking to come. The D-Link Xtreme N450 will use dual-band 802.11n tech to deliver 450 Megabits per second (Mbps) speed, though actual data throughput, of course, varies. That's still faster than the typical 300 Mbits/s built into today's routers, but it also requires an 11n adapter on the client (laptop) end. The N450 will have Gigabit Ethernet ports integrated (for both WAN and LAN connections) and USB ports with D-Link's own SharePort technology. SharePort autosenses the product that's connected (a printer or storage device, for example) and makes it network accessible. On top of that, the 450N will also be classifed as "D-Link Green," building on the company's power-saving technology which was introduced earlier this year. That feature only powers on ports that need to send/receive data. D-Link claims this power-savings has gotten better this year, saving even more juice for customers. No price is available yet for the N450, and the router likely won't be out until the summer. Also on tap for 2009 is a new all-in-one router, the Xtreme N DIR-685. It's a single-band (2.4GHz) router model that incorporates a slot for a 2.5-inch hard drive right in the router to give it instant network attached storage (NAS), while integrating a print server and a 3.2-inch color LCD display on the face. The screen can display "photos from your local PCs or network attached storage or from the 2.4-inch hard drive itself, or network diagnostic widgets," according to Dan Kelley, senior director of marketing at D-Link. The widgets will show Internet speed, network speed, hard drive space, and data pulled from the Web, like weather forecasts. It also has two USB SharePorts on the back. Look for this router in the first quarter of 2009; no price has been announced. A screen in a router is not D-Link's only entry into displays this year. The USB-powered D-Link SideStage is a 7-inch LCD monitor running 800x480 resolution, and it has a unique purpose: to provide a little extra screen real estate for your Windows applications. You can use it to just run all your Windows or Yahoo widgets, stick toolbars for applications like Photoshop out of the way, or find another unique use. The question is, will you ever see SideStage this year? Kelley says that is dependent on Linksys being able to get down to a perfect price point based on materials, which D-Link has yet to achieve. He says the only way to compete with SideStage is to have the right price. Finally, D-Link's ready to help you watch your surroundings remotely with one of the first IP cameras using 802.11n. The DCS-1130 is designed from the ground up to be easy to connect (wired or wirelessly); you access a live feed over a brand new Web portal page D-Link has created for customers. A wired-only version for less money (model DCS-1100) will be available. Small businesses can go the extra mile and get one of D-Link's Volta-branded NVRs – that's a network video recorder. It's essentially a storage bay you fill with hard drives to record video for playback. One model works only with D-Link cams; another works with cameras from Axis, Sony, Panasonic, and others. Again, no word on the actual price of these products, or when they will ship. |
Well ok so after reading all this... Will this work for hosting sa-mp servers? Are these good for high internet speeds?
