D-Link shipping DIR-320 Wireless G Router

D-Link is shipping the DIR-320 Wireless G Router with USB Print Server, an entry-level wireless G router that includes a port for connection to a USB printer for a price of just over R600.

"The DIR-320 provides everything needed by home or small office users who want to share an existing Internet connection and USB printer," says Karien Wood, marketing manager for D-Link SA. "It combines the robustness, speed and range of industry standard wireless G networking with a USB shared printer support and it does so far more cost-effectively than purchasing two separate devices."

The DIR-320 Wireless G Router connects to a broadband modem to wirelessly share a high-speed Internet connection, she adds. The ’Guest Zone’ function aims to provide a secondary wireless service set identifier (SSID). This means that users can set up a second public name for their wireless network which is separate from the main network domain for better security and management, she adds. The D-Link Wireless G Router also includes a built-in firewall designed to safeguard wireless networks from harmful attacks.

Additional security features like MAC address filtering aim to prevent unauthorised network access, and parental control features prevent users from viewing inappropriate content. The DIR-320 is also designed to support WPA and WPS encryption for wireless security.

In addition to a USB port supporting connection to a USB printer for sharing on the network, the D-Link Wireless G Router also provides four Ethernet ports to connect Ethernet-enabled PCs, game consoles and other devices to the Internet.
