D-Link DIR-685 Wireless Storage Photo Frame Router Review
4:00AM Jason Chen | This D-Link DIR685 router is an example of what you get when you let engineers get wild and shove in everything they think is cool into a product. And that’s just the type of product we like to see. More »

D-Link SideStage, Because Everybody Could Use An Extra Monitor
2:16AM Wilson Rothman | Maybe it’s because I just re-read Watchmen, but the idea of getting D-Link’s SideStage, a bonus 7″ USB-powered display for extra video monitoring, sounds like a really good one. More »

D-Link DIR-825 Dual-Band N Router Gets USB over Wi-Fi (and So Can You)
8:15AM Wilson Rothman | D-Link announced a new router yesterday which sounds a lot like other flagship home routers that have already hit market: The $US200 DIR-825 is dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz N plus Gigabit ethernet. These are all great features, but the surprising one is that the USB port in the back uses a new protocol that lets networked PCs treat it as a local USB port, even if they’re all the way across the house. The good news for your broke arse is, if you have one of several D-Link routers listed below, you can inject your router’s USB port with the same virtual connectivity… for free. More »

D-Link’s DXN-221 Brings Ethernet Over Coax For Easy Home Wiring
4:50AM Jason Chen | Most homes have coax wired into almost every room, but only newer ones have Ethernet wall ports. D-Link’s DXN-221 Ethernet adaptor works around this problem and comes with two units, both with a Coax F-Type connector to go into your wall, and an Ethernet adaptor to hook up to your networking on either side. The adaptor works in the 800-1500MHz range, which supposedly doesn’t interfere with your TV signal. All this can be yours in Q3 2008 for US$199 for two, and US$109 for individual adapters thereafter. D-Link doesn’t have images of this thing, so I made my own interpretation of what it looks like. [D-Link] More »

D-Link DPG-1200 PC-on-TV Player Brings Lousy Amateur YouTube Video to Your TV
4:00PM Jason Chen | The Pitch: D-Link’s PC-On-TV (DPG-1200) player can stream YouTube, Google Video, Veoh and other streaming video sites from your PC to your TV. It can also watch MPEG-4, AVI, or any video content using any video player on your computer to stream over either 802.11g or a 10/100 Ethernet connection. Price: $US199. The Catch: Supporting all these formats means they’re probably capturing an area of your screen (by a VNC-ish proprietary software) and then streaming it to the unit. Not bad, but it requires you to have control of your PC while you’re watching stuff. More »
