D-Link Routers and NAS

We just had D-link out to our AITP meeting. A couple of products that were really interesting:
1. NAS - Network Attached Storage - D-Link model DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure RJ45, USB 2.0 which will hold 2 SATA hard drives and will connect with Gigabit speed to your network. It can also act as a USB print server as it has a USB port on it you can attach your printer to. It would be great for a backup for all your pictures or MP3 files.

2. Gaming routers using 802.11N- There will be a new one out soon that will just set up with your games- you just select the game and it will open the appropriate ports. The forerunner to this new router was the D-Link DIR-655 which D-Link presentors recommended as the best 802.11N router to buy (for normal consumers) - it also has Gigabit wired connections to your local network. It will reach further than the previous generation of 802.11 N routers.

3. HD Media Center /Wireless- The newest DSM-750 Wireless N HD Media Center Extender allows you to wirelessly connect your TV, stream music, photos, and HD videos stored on a PC to your home entertainment center. It can send over a wireless 802.11n or wired Ethernet network or even connect to a NAS (where you may be storing all your media files).
