D-Link has extended its powerline networking product line with a kit of two mini-adapters.
The DHP-309AV PowerLine AV+ Mini Adapter Starter Kit is a low-cost way to add 200 Mbps powerline connectivity to your existing LAN.
Each adapter has a 10/100 Ethernet port and supports the HomePlug AV powerline networking standard that provides powerline link rates up to 200 Mbps.
The kit of two adapters is out now, selling for around $60.
Netgear today announced a power adapter with built-in HomePlug 1.0 network interface.
The XEPS103 Space-Saving Powerline Network Extender replaces a router's existing 12V / 1A power adapter and supplies both power to the router or gateway and an 85 Mbps HomePlug 1.0 network connection. The Extender reduces clutter by requiring only one plug to supply both power and a network extension.
D-Link today announced a lifetime warranty for all its switches and the addition of a cloud backup service to its DNS-323 NAS.
Linksys says it has shipped more than 100 million routers and will help get Cuba better connected.
