Here’s a little lesson on what power line Ethernet is real quick, basically your standard electrical outlets throughout your house can be converted to Ethernet jacks, with data transmission going through your power lines, all by just simply plugging in the necessary hardware. There are several things that have impeded the data transmission speeds of [...]
You’re nobody in the media world until you can stream songs from one corner of the house to another, and HiFi mainstay Denon have obviously had enough of the playground taunts. At CEDIA 2007 today they’re launching two networked A/V products, one wired and one wireless, that not only will allow you to play music [...]
And people wonder why the Mesh Networking Topology is still taught in classes. So essentially what happened is a single computer’s singular NIC was having some issues, and there was apparently not enough redundancy. Anyways, it all ended with a giant domino effect taking down a large segment of the network.
The partial failure started at [...]
I’ve always been a firm believer that one can’t have too many USB ports. It seems like almost everything you own plugs in via USB, with some devices like iPods depending on it in order to get a charge. With all of these USB gadgets, not all of them necessarily need to be right next [...]
Ethernet over powerline is one of those technologies I never really thought would take off, but given the number of new products launched using PLC - everything from streaming media to expanding your home network without relying on WiFI - I guess I’ve been proved wrong! Latest is I-O DATA’s PLC-ET/MY range, which offers you a choice [...]
Powerline network adapters are increasingly growing in popularity. It’s understandable really, extend your network anywhere in the house without having to run cable or mess with wireless. But what about when you want to use wireless in a part of your house that your router won’t reach? Your powerlines can help you there as well.
If I were building my own house then I’d have hidden rooms behind bookcases, a dungeon and a room especially for teleconferencing - oh, and ethernet ports all over the place. It’s a fact of life that as our lives get more and more computer-dependent, the means to connect the gadgets up become trickier. Wireless [...]
Have you been thinking about switching over your home network to a powerline-based setup? This newest gadget from Netgear might make the switch a little more appealing.
Just how much data can you possibly transmit in a single second? Well if you’re Alcatel/Lucent you can squeeze 25.6TB over a strand of fiber strand in just one second.
This now makes them king of speed. The previous record was a mere 14TB/s. I bet compared to the new speed, transferring data at 14TB/s must [...]
Oh goodness this is lovely! Take one wireless router (never the most attractive of things), rehouse it in a hand-made wooden casing that’s reminiscent of the sort of carriage clock you might be given on retirement, and finally add a gorgeous analogue gauge cleverly rigged up to indicate network utilisation. It’s the handiwork of a [...]
