D-Link Goes Green with Routers

[zatoicchi]

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 28, 2008 - D-Link today became the first manufacturer to produce Green home network Wi-Fi routers capable of saving up to 40 percent in power usage.

The end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumer and business, D-Link is expanding its Green Initiative by adding eco-friendly features to its award-winning Xtreme NTM line of Wi-Fi Internet routers to decrease energy costs by reducing power consumption without sacrificing performance.

The Wi-Fi routers integrate D-Link® Green EthernetTM technology, an innovative energy-saving technology that automatically detects link status and network cable length, then adjusts power accordingly. The D-Link routers also feature Wi-Fi scheduling that allows customers to easily program when the Wi-Fi radio signals are turned on and off to further save energy consumption.

Now shipping and incorporating the Green technology are the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655), D-Link Xtreme N DuoTM Media Router (DIR-855), and the D-Link Xtreme N Gaming Router (DGL-4500).

"hat automatically detects link status and network cable length, then adjusts power accordingly"

Wow,this is awesome,for sure it would lower power usage times even for for a long term !! but I guess this is Super to lead such a new race of technology by one of the biggest Router Manufacturers around the globe (I liked the idea myself very much)

Yes

But it does become a bit harder, if the signal strength is dynamically modified to reach the legit users only and not "h4x0rs" outside your home in a pizza van
