'Now Create An 802.11N Wi-Fi Hotspot On The Go'
Tweet-- D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and business, today introduced a powerful Wi-Fi N addition to its portable and lightweight multi-function pocket router family for wireless access on the fly.
The D-Link® Wireless N Pocket Router/Access Point (DAP-1350) with multi-mode functionality can be used as a wireless router to create an 802.11n Wi-Fi network or as an access point to add Wi-Fi to an existing wired network for connectivity on the go. The device can also be used to connect an Ethernet-ready device, such as a desktop PC or Xbox 360®, to a Wi-Fi network for increased flexibility and convenience.
Lightweight and compact with its own travel case, the DAP-1350 is small enough to carry while travelling and sets up easily to share an Internet connection or add Wi-Fi to an existing wired network in a conference room, hotel room or anywhere a Wi-Fi network is needed. When operating in wireless client mode, the router supports Power over USB to use a PC to power the device if a power outlet is not accessible.
"The D-Link pocket router is the perfect Wi-Fi travel companion for business or personal use. It's Compact and Lightweight Device Provides Easy Setup and Multi-Mode Functionality. Now there is finally a simple and affordable way to create an 802.11n network anywhere with the push of a button" said Mr. Jayesh Kotak, VP-Product Marketing, D-Link (India) Ltd.
The D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router/Access Point is equipped with multiple intelligent antennas to maximize the speed and range of the wireless signals to significantly outperform previous-generation Wireless G devices. These internal antennas also serve to bounce wireless signals off walls and ceilings to work around obstacles and help eliminate dead spots. Wi-Fi N is capable of transmitting data up to 5-times faster than G at farther distances*.
The DAP-1350 delivers powerful 802.11n performance and offers the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access.
