Jan 11, 2013– Playa Vista, USA (Techreleased) – Belkin will showcase its new line-up of wireless networking technologies designed to empower the connected home, this week at the 2013 International CES.
The powerful new AC750 and AC1800 Dual Band routers, as well as the new USB 3.0 ready AC Wi-Fi USB Dual-Band Adapter will be on display alongside Belkin’s existing suite of wireless networking products at the Belkin booth, #30651, in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 8-11, 2013.
“With the launch of our latest AC Wi-Fi products, Belkin becomes the leading provider of state-of-the-art, next-gen Wi-Fi devices, and delivers the ultimate in speed, coverage and performance for today’s connected home networks,” said Mike Chen, senior director of product management for Belkin’s networking group. “With upgraded features like Simple Start browser based set-up and a smart MediaPlay app, our AC routers deliver the promise of the connected home, where all of your devices work together seamlessly, from home entertainment to home automation.”
With four next generation Wi-Fi routers, Belkin offers the largest selection of 802.11AC products on the market today. Belkin’s most advanced router, the new AC1800 DB router, delivers combined speeds up to 1.6Gbps, up to four times faster than traditional 802.11n Wi-Fi technology. With gigabit speeds, the AC1800 extends network range and provides more reliable coverage at greater distances, making it possible to stream more content to multiple smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs anywhere in the home.
The AC750, Belkin’s entry level AC router, takes advantage of next generation AC Wi-Fi for a new level of reliability and connectivity. With combined dual band speeds up to 733 Mbps, the AC750 upgrades your network with the latest technology and is perfect for digital entertainment throughout the home.
Both the AC750 and AC1800 are the first Belkin routers to feature Simple Start, a browser-based setup interface that streamlines the installation process and eliminates the needs for a computer or CD drive. Simple Start enables one-click access to the router dashboard, making it easy to configure a media server, turn on parental controls or troubleshoot from a mobile device.
Another feature new to Belkin routers is MediaPlay, an app powered by Twonky that turns your iOS or Android device into a wireless network media player and enables you to stream content directly from a smartphone or tablet to a Smart TV. MediaPlay pairs seamlessly with the Belkin router’s built-in media server function that turns any USB storage device into a network storage device. The free MediaPlay app pushes media from multiple sources to multiple destinations and is able to sync between iOS and Android devices.
To get the most out of your new network, laptops and ultrabooks can be upgraded with the USB 3.0 ready AC Wi-Fi Dual-Band USB Adapter. This adapter provides speeds up to 867Mbps for smooth gaming and streaming around the home.
