D-Link's DXN-221 Brings Ethernet Over Coax For Easy Home Wiring

Most homes have coax wired into almost every room, but only newer ones have Ethernet wall ports. D-Link's DXN-221 Ethernet adapter works around this problem and comes with two units, both with a Coax F-Type connector to go into your wall, and an Ethernet adapter to hook up to your networking on either side. The adapter works in the 800-1500MHz range, which supposedly doesn't interfere with your TV signal. All this can be yours in Q3 2008 for $199 for two, and $109 for individual adapters thereafter.

Build Your Own Internet Connected Alarm Clock

If you love DIY projects, and you take your alarm clocks seriously, this little project from DJ Delorie should be right up your alley. Using a PIC24FJ64 microcontroller, ENC28J60 Ethernet chip, MP3 decoder chip, an organic LED graphical display and a 24LC512 EEPROM for storage, Delorie managed to make an alarm clock that can automatically set the time, stream MP3s, and be managed remotely. Hit the link and click "Entry" for instructions on how to build one yourself. [Circuitcellar via Make via Unplggd]

Meet MacBook Air's Kids: Ethernet and SuperDrive Peripherals

If the MacBook Air is the mother of all slimline notebooks, then these two must be her offspring: you may have to ferry them around a lot if you watch DVDs or use wired surfing while you're on the road. While the Superdrive is a slot-loading 8x number in an aluminium jacket, and weighing just over a pound, the Ethernet adapter looks to be a standard Apple white, and gives you that RJ-45 connector for 10/100BASE-T support that everyone's talking about. Combined together they take up around 25 cubic inches we think, showing just how skinny the Air itself actually is at 52 cubic inches: More »

LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Streams Media, Acts As iTunes Music Server

Not only is this LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini capable of streaming fast video over its Gigabit Ethernet to a UPnP media player, it's got file backup, file synchronization, and iTunes server capabilities. It's an update to the Ethernet Disk Mini from two years ago, but offers 500GB of storage plus all those networking functions for a price of only $199. We have to get our hands on one to see what its performance is, but from the spec sheet this looks pretty fantastic. [LaCie]

Sans Digital NAS with iTunes Support

At first glance the Sans Digital's MN2L NAS looks pretty standard. It has two SATA drive bays, USB2, Ethernet, and even FTP access. But what sets this NAS apart is the built in iTunes support. It can take your music files and dupe iTunes into thinking that it's just another PC and then streams the audio files to any PC/Mac running iTunes. This looks to be a great alternative running a separate PC as a dedicated server. The MN2L is available now and will set you back $299. [Product Page via Electronista]

Iomega StorCenter 1TB w/RAID, Gigabit Ethernet, UPnP, and USB Expansion

Iomega's StorCenter NAS devices are shipping in sizes from 500GB to 1TB with 7200 RPM SATA-II drives. The 1GB uses two drives, so can work in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD (one large drive). Each has Gigabit, but no WiFi, and has Active directory support and UPnP server ability. Interestingly, you can tether drives to this one via the two USB ports. $269 for 500GB, $389 for 1TB.

Ethernet Speeds Head to 40, 100 Gigabit Next

Most people may already be happy enough with 1 and 10 Gigabit speeds, but most people don't stream HD movies or move around entire hard drives over their network. The Ethernet Alliance knows this, and has just laid out a roadmap detailing how they're going to add 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit speeds to the Ethernet standard. Both these will start out in the server space (read: not for you), but will trickle down to the home and home office within the next few years. [ExtremeTech - Thanks Dom!]

Superbooster USB Wall Plate Gives You USB Anywhere

Instead of running USB over USB and getting only a few feet of range, Superbooster Wall Plate lets you run USB over Ethernet and up to 150 feet of range. What does this mean to you? It means you can install one of these wall plates in your living room, kitchen or bathroom, and get USB connectivity all over your house (provided you run Ethernet cording through your walls). The setup is a bit pricey at $129 for one transmitter and one receiver, but we're talking USB through your walls here people! [CablestoGo via EverythingUSB]

Windows XP RobuDOG Plays Ball And Takes Pictures

The Windows XP-running RobuDOG is part robopet, part photographer. The dog's colorful noggin is packed with all sorts of goodies, including infrared sensors for guidance and an "intelligent, programmable" color camera. So, while using its 17 servo-powered joints and articulated ankles to run and kick a ball around—something it's supposed to be better at than your average dog—the RobuDOG will also be able to take snaps of the action.

Blu-ray Players Have Problems With Pirates of the Caribbean Discs

If you've just purchased the first two Pirates movies on Blu-ray in order to get psyched up for the third one, you probably came up with a whole lot less Johnny Depp and a whole lot more firmware problems than you expected. Apparently at least two players—Samsung's BD-P1200 and Sony's BDP-S1—have difficulty playing back the first two movies, thanks to outdated BD java. And by difficulty, we mean they throw up their hands and give up like a fat man at the starting line of a 10K. More »

JVC Gets the Hang of Networking; Embraces DivX


JVC today introduced its Sophisti DD-3 system, two D's for a double dose of digital pimpin'. It's a 3.1 home theater in a box, with a DVD player, subwoofer and three speakers. The front left and right speakers do a virtual surround thing so you don't need two in the rear, says JVC. (Home theater nerds can feel free to argue about this fact for hours.) More »

Belkin Gigabit Ethernet USB 2.0 Adapter

Belkin must be using some sort of voodoo to be able to crank out 1000Mbps from a USB 2.0 bus that taps out at 480Mbps, but that's what they claim the Gigabit USB 2.0 Network Adapter can do. The adapter is designed for people who don't have a gigabit ethernet port in their computer (which is a whole lot of people) but who do have a USB 2.0 port (which is nearly everyone by now, I'd assume). The adapter is compatible with both PCs and Macs. Once installed, users should be able to benefit from the faster transfer speeds offered by gigabit ethernet. I'll believe it when I see it. More »

DIY Ethernet Cuff Links

What's a geek to do on those rare occasions when cuff links are needed but the rent-a-tux place forgot to include them? Make some yourself using UTP connectors—or Ethernet connectors—crimpers and some pair-wire. This is a pretty good idea and bound to make a splash at any event, given it is technology relate. These are also great because you don't have to worry about losing the cuff links since this DIY project is cheap and easy to do. – Travis Hudson More »
