Wifi met Hercules

Hercules’ ADSL2/2+ Modem Router is een apparaat dat thuisgebruikers eindelijk de mogelijkheid biedt om een tweevoudig 54Mbps WiFi-netwerk te creëren: een veilig persoonlijk netwerk en een publiek netwerk!

Enerzijds is uw veilig persoonlijk netwerk uitsluitend toegankelijk voor bevoegde personen aan wie u uw veiligheidssleutel (WEP, WPA, WPA2) gegeven hebt. Deze gebruikers genieten van een volledig veilige draadloze internetverbinding en hebben toegang tot de gedeelde bestanden en tot de printers die op het netwerk aangesloten zijn.

Anderzijds kan tegelijkertijd uw publiek WiFi-netwerk naar uw goeddunken geactiveerd worden voor vrienden of bezoekers. U hoeft uw WiFi-veiligheidssleutel niet langer te openbaren. De Hercules Modem Router werkt als een “mini-hotspot “ in uw huis of eventueel in uw bedrijf, van waaruit uw naasten of gasten vrij toegang hebben tot het internet en hun e-mailaccounts, maar niet tot uw gedeelde folders. Met één enkele klik kunt u het publieke netwerk activeren of deactiveren, zodat u bijvoorbeeld de tijd die uw kinderen op het internet doorbrengen kunt controleren.

Vanaf oktober is de modem/router verkrijgbaar voor 80 euro, voor 100 euro heb je een pakket met een USB Wifi stick erbij.

Hands-on with Pioneer’s BDP-95FD Blu-ray player

Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment

Pioneer’s BDP-95FD Blu-ray player may have been just one of the many fine looking devices at the outfit’s fine looking exhibit, but considering that it was just unveiled hours ago, we figured we’d give it additional attention. As you’d probably guess, this Elite gizmo lived up to its branding (at least in the design department), and we’ve got an assortment of closeups waiting for you over at EngadgetHD.

Microsoft bringing Internet TV feature to Windows Media Center

Filed under: Home Entertainment, Media PCs, Portable Video

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/microsoft/Microsoft_bringing_Internet_TV_feature_to_Windows_Media_Center’; During our chat with Microsoft today, we got wind of a brand new feature coming to Windows Media Center, and it’s slated to hit just as D-Link and Linksys get official with their Media Center Extenders. Reportedly, Microsoft plans on unleashing Internet TV on or around September 27th, which will enable Media Center users to watch a variety of on-demand, ad-supported content free of charge. While details were kept slim, we do know that content will fall into Sports, Entertainment, News, Top Picks, Music and Movies categories. Additionally, the videos will reportedly be “better than SD quality, but not HD,” although HD programs could certainly emerge in the future. Best of all, this feature will simply be delivered as a normal software update, and while it seems that we’ll have to wait until Digital Life before we know any more, feel free to peep the gallery below for a few shots of the Internet TV beta in action.

Pioneer’s CEDIA booth tour

Filed under: Displays, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Portable Audio

If you appreciate booths done right, you’ll be a fan of Pioneer. This installation was easily the most attractive (in our eyes, at least) at CEDIA, and if you dig Elite KUROs, snazzy flat-panel speaker systems, AV receivers with 1,400-watts of power and lots of black, why not give the gallery a once over?

Alienware’s CEDIA booth tour

Filed under: Desktops, Home Entertainment, Laptops, Media PCs

Alienware was just barely at CEDIA, but it did a respectable job with the ridiculously small amount of square footage it was granted. So if you’re craving a look at the firm’s Hangar18 (and the Hangar18:HD), hit up the gallery right over here.
