TRENDnet Reveals Wireless Networking Devices

People looking for a nice way to set up a wireless network at home may want to drop by TRENDnet's Computex 2012 booth one of these days.

What the company did was build the AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Router and the AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Media Bridge. The former (model TEW-812DRU) operates at 1,300 Mbps over 5 GHz 802.11ac and 450 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band. Gigabit LAN receives the connection from a cable, while Beam Forming technology ensures optimum wireless transmissions. An USB port is thrown into the mix for networking HDDs or flash drives too.

The other device, AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Media Bridge (TEW-800MB) links together up to four media center devices (via Gigabit LAN ports) and a 1300 Mbps 802.11ac network. That includes Internet TVs, video recorders, media players, etc. The TEW-812DRU router has a price of $179.99 / 145 Euro, while the TEW-800MB media bridge will sell for $129.99 / 104 Euro. Shipments will begin in November.
