Trendnet has this week unveiled their new 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Media Bridge TEW-680MB (Version v1.0R), which has been designed to allow you to connect all your media center devices, including gaming consoles, televisions, DVRs, and more, to the Internet over an ultra-high performance 450Mbps wireless network.
The Trendnet 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Media Bridge is equipped with 4 Gigabit ports and will use both the 2.4GHz network or the less congested 5GHz network to wirelessly stream HD video. It is Wi-Fi compliant with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and networks.
Enhanced Connectivity for Modern Media Devices
Out of the box, the TEW-680MB will connect network-ready Blu-ray players, televisions, digital video recorders (DVR), receivers, and gaming consoles such as Nintendo Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 to a high-speed wireless N network. This makes it an ideal solution for households with multiple media devices that require a stable and fast internet connection. The bridge supports up to WPA2-PSK wireless security, ensuring that your network remains secure while providing high-speed connectivity.
The dual-band capability of the TEW-680MB allows it to operate on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. The 2.4GHz band is widely used and can be crowded, leading to potential interference and slower speeds. In contrast, the 5GHz band is less congested and can provide faster and more reliable connections, especially for bandwidth-intensive activities like HD video streaming and online gaming.
Practical Applications and Benefits
The Trendnet 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Media Bridge is particularly beneficial for users who have multiple devices in different rooms. For example, you can place the media bridge in your living room to connect your smart TV, Blu-ray player, and gaming console to the internet without the need for multiple cables running through your home. This not only reduces clutter but also simplifies the process of managing your home network.
Moreover, the four Gigabit Ethernet ports provide ample connectivity options for wired devices, ensuring that even older devices without built-in Wi-Fi can benefit from the high-speed wireless network. This makes the TEW-680MB a versatile addition to any home network setup.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always.
