Your Wi-Fi compatible gadgets connect to the D-Link DIR-508L SharePort Go II via its personal wireless network. A broadband Internet connection of some sort will need to be connected to the SharePort Go, which will then share this connection to all devices within its range. You can plug in an Ethernet cable, a 3G or 4G USB adapter, or it can even hook up to a Wi-Fi hotspot to share online access with multiple devices.

While the same can certainly be achieved with a cellular hotspot, the SharePort Go II does provide more flexibility. It also comes with a built-in 4,000 mAh rechargeable battery, which can also be used to juice up some of your gadgets. Hook up a USB flash drive, and you’ll have your own personal shared storage device, using the mydlink SharePort app.

The D-Link DIR-508L SharePort Go II will be available this April for about $120(USD).

D-Link launches a raft of routers, cloud cameras at CES

DLink

Unfortunately for D-Link, the unbroken blue skies of Nevada aren't helping the company promote its latest raft of cloud-connected networking products. It's launching a pair of coke cans dual band routers and cloud-connected cameras that'll let you coat your house in WiFi and broadcast your antics across the internet. The cameras will save VGA footage to a hard drive, while the routes promise to offer speeds of up to 1750Mbps. If you want an impromptu security system, the cameras will arrive in February, the 1050 setting you back $80 and the 1150 a cool $100, while the routers make their way into stores from April -- the AC1200 costing $150 and the AC1750 marked up at $170.

D-Link DHP-309AV PowerLine AV + Mini Adapter Starter Kit

D-Link DHP-309AV PowerLine AV + Mini Adapter Starter Kit

D-Link has rolled out the new DHP-309AV PowerLine AV + mini adapter starter kit. The device extends your home network by transforming your existing electrical system into a powerful network with up to 200Mbps performance. It is equipped with a 10/100Base Ethernet port with Auto MDI/MDIX and an RJ-45 connector. The D-Link DHP-309AV also uses a 128-bit AES data encryption. [D-Link]

DLink PowerLine AV Mini Adapter kit keeps wired networks as subtle and cheap as possible

D-Link still sees there being a place for powerline networking, such as a basement home theater, but knows that many of us don't want an overly clunky set of adapters or to effectively buy a second network. Its new (if slightly awkwardly named) PowerLine AV+ Mini Adapter Starter Kit caters just to that desire for a no-hassle network in places WiFi won't reach. The bundle carries a pair of small, 200Mbps adapters that won't monopolize the wall outlets, a pair of Ethernet cables to link up... and that's it. Apart from the optional 128-bit AES encryption, there's nothing else needed to either make a direct connection or graft powerline technology into an existing network. At $60, the already shipping kit is also just low enough in price that there's very little standing between us and a reliable connection for a console or placeshifter.
