NETGEAR Family of New Energy-Efficient Wireless-N Routers, Modem Routers and Kits Makes It Even Easier to Upgrade Wireless Networks and Computers to High Performance Wireless-N
The Wireless-N Router (WNR2000) and Wireless-N Modem Router (DGN2000) include NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard(TM) installation CD for swift and easy installation. Once the routers are installed, NETGEAR’s Push ‘N’ Connect with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) eliminates the need to remember network security passwords by enabling users to securely connect personal to the router with the simple press of a button. Both the Wireless-N Router and Wireless-N Modem Router incorporate eco-friendly “NETGEAR Green” features including packaging manufactured using at least 80 percent recycled materials, Energy Star(R)-qualified power supplies, and an on/off switch to help save energy when the network isn’t in use. A conveniently accessible on/off switch on the Wireless-N Modem Router (DGN2000) enables users to turn off just the wireless mode as well.
“The growing number of home-based productivity and entertainment applications running over the home network infrastructure is now exceeding the abilities of older Wireless-G (802.11g-based) routers and modem routers,” said Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR’s senior product line manager for advanced wireless products. “The enhanced wireless speeds and greater coverage provided by Wireless-N technology enables the simultaneous use of applications such as voice-over-IP, video and multimedia streaming, console gaming, and Web surfing. The launch of these new Wireless-N networking solutions makes it easier and more inexpensive for consumers to replace their existing routers or modem routers and upgrade their WiFi networks to support these more bandwidth-intensive applications. The new product family is feature-rich in terms of performance capabilities and ease of use as well as energy-efficiency.”
In addition to the Wireless-N Router and Wireless-N Modem Router, which enable users to affordably upgrade their networks to simultaneously support both new Wireless-N devices and legacy Wireless-G devices, NETGEAR also announced the availability of networking kits that package a Wireless-N USB Adapter with each of the new routers. The Wireless-N Router and USB Adapter Kit (WNB2100) and Wireless-N Modem Router and USB Adapter Kit (DGNB2100) enable users to upgrade their computers at the same time as their home networks to support the high performance and long ranges provided by Wireless-N technology.
The Wireless-N Modem Router (DGN2000) incorporates an ADSL2+ modem enabling users to upgrade existing DSL equipment and eliminate the need for an external modem. In the U.S., it is fully compatible with Verizon, AT&T, Qwest(R), EarthLink(R), and other DSL World wide web service providers. With multiple SSID support in the Wireless-N Modem Router, creating a unique SSID and security for guest access is now possible without needing to share the user’s own security code.
Mr. Choudhury continued, “These new products boast many of the features, performance, ease of use and ‘green’ attributes comparable to the highest-end routers and gateways, while still being very affordable. Our Wireless-N Router and Modem Router are not only fully backward-compatible with legacy 802.11b/g devices, but the USB adapter included in the networking kits also enables users to upgrade their existing computer to enjoy the performance of Wireless-N at a fraction of the cost of buying a new notebook with Wireless-N.”

3M’s new Mobile ID Reader scans MRZ and RF chip data from passports and visas and immediately checks them against local or international watch lists by using wifi or GSM/GPRS EDGE networks. It seems like a great tool to further make you feel like you’re living in some scary dystopian sci-fi novel, especially when you hear that dastardly monopolist Bill Gates got his little-loved Windows Mobile 6 OS onto the device.
Leave it to the crazy Lomography heads to keep the flame of analog photography alive and kicking in this cold digital world of ours, like an ’80s top-of-the-charts song always resisting to die: Their new RedScale Negative 100 film gives a vision of the world in intense reds, smooth oranges oranges, and mellow yellows look to all your analog photographs, but also having highlights in other colors, which appear in an unpredictable way.
