Looks like Netgear isn't the only one bringing its Powerline data-over-power line devices to Las Vegas this week! Our fine friends at gdgt have just hepped us to a couple new D-Link boxes, including the DIG-1320, the company's first Powerline router -- with 802.11n WiFi to boot!. If using the ominous power of electricity to watch The Fall Guy on Hulu seems a bit much, the company has also unveiled DIR-632, its first consumer dot-n router with (count 'em!) 8 Ethernet ports. No word on price or release date, but if any of these things "fall off the back of a truck," we'll drop you a line. We know a guy.
Damn it NetGear. MOCA MOCA MOCA!!!
@Emiliano Unless it's comparable in speeds as MOCA and not as unreliable as past Powerline products, I totally agree.
@Emiliano The heck with MoCA, I have more Cat5e in my house than RG6. The future is hard-wired Cat6.
Engadget, hook us up wit yo "guy",
No?
Ahh, I see, you want a finder's fee...
I gotta find me some "fall off the back of the truck" stuff for overpriced Apple stuff.
> ... consumer draft-n router...
It isn't "draft-n" anymore. The final 802.11n was approved last year. So unless this brand spanking new device is deliberately choosing to avoid the final spec, it's got to be 802.11n, not draft-n. Old habits die hard, eh?
@muser Indeed, they do! Thx.
I'll second the MoCA cry.
I've had recent success with Powerline ethernet using current Belkin adapters, in a 50 yr old house no less. Much better than wireless for high bandwidth AV type operations.
gdgt is written gdgt, not GDGT. Just saying.
'bought time we saw more routers with built-in powerline.
