Netgear's 200 Mbps Powerline Adapters Are $170 For HD, $150 for AV

While we've already seen older iterations Netgear's powerline-based networking products, it's just today that the new Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter Kit ($170) and Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit ($150) have become widely available. Both systems transfer data at 200 Mbps over your home's electrical wiring, but the big difference is that the Powerline HD Plus system includes a socket so you don't miss out on the plug space. Now if only my apartment's electrical were as reliable as its airspace, I might consider the purchase. [Netgear]

Netgear's WGR614L $69 Open Source Router

Netgear's new WGR614L is an open source 802.11g router, able to run lots of firmwares already built by the community. So do many other routers. The sell here is that they've beefed up the usual specs beyond what's necessary for the usual packet direction. I suppose that most of these router firmwares are getting so feature heavy that the original hardware is the bottleneck. [Netgear via Myopenrouter] More »

Wi-LAN Sues Everyone and Their Mom (Really) Over Dubious Wi-Fi Patents

Another day, another Wi-Fi patent entanglement. Today the troll plaintiff suing practically the entire industry is Wi-LAN, whose two patents—"related to Wi-Fi and power consumption in DSL products"—are apparently violated by anyone making or selling anything from routers to notebooks. The suit, launched in the capital of patent infringement suits, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, targets Acer, Apple, Belkin, Best Buy, Broadcom, Buffalo, Circuity City, Dell, D-Link, Gateway, HP, Infineon, Intel, Lenovo, Marvell, Netgear, Sony, TI, Toshiba, Westell and 2Wire.

Buffalo Banned from Selling 802.11a and 802.11g Gear in the US

Australia-based Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation has won a patent infringement suit against Buffalo in a US district court, enjoining sales on all 802.11a, g and n products made by Buffalo as of Oct. 1 (full list here). CSIRO is apparently suing the entire wireless LAN industry, so Buffalo has the quite the list of friends filing briefs on their behalf: Microsoft, 3COM Corporation, SMC Networks, Accton Technology Corporation, Intel, Atheros Communications, Belkin International, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel Networks, Nvidia Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP AG, Yahoo, Nokia, and the Consumer Electronics Association. If Buffalo doesn't win its appeal, it clears the way for CSIRO to take on the rest of the industry, which could result in licensing fees being tacked on to all 802.11a, g and n products. Booooo fees.

Netgear's 1080p Streamer Caught on Video

Ok, so the video is painfully blurry, but the folks at Tech Blog have posted up a clip demoing Netgear's forthcoming Digital Entertainer HD. The box is capable of accessing and organizing all your stored media and streaming it to your HDTV with support for 1080p video. The interface is pretty bare as you can see and at times it lagged a little longer than it should (especially at the end), but feature-wise it's packing a lot and it doubles as a PVR (if your PC has a TV Tuner card). It'll be out this quarter for $349. More »

New developments coming out of the Netgear/BitTorrent partnership: breaking into the universal streaming media market, Netgear's Digital Entertainer HD tries to make good by packing a cornucopia of features into its rather large box.
