Wireless pocket router

D-Link today introduced a new 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) 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.  The DAP-1350 is small enough to carry while traveling and sets up easily to share an Internet connection or add Wi-Fi to an existing wired network. 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,” said Tobie van Schalkwyk, D-Link South Africa Country Manager. “Now there is finally a simple and affordable way to create an 802.11n network anywhere with the push of a button.”

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 D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router/Access Point will be available in Q1 2010.
