CES 2006 Profile: D-Link

By Digital Trends Staff January 9, 2006

End to end networking solutions provider D-Link showcased new products at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show which the company says are for enhancing security and entertainment in the digital home.

D-Link’s most major announcement was the new SecureSpot Internet Security Device. This device â€œprovides multi-tiered protection for all networked PCs against viruses, spam, spyware, pop-ups, hackers and other privacy invasions while operating under a single integrated, easy-to-use web-based control centerâ€. It is powered by BSecure Technologies, offers content filtering and can work with PCs or Macs on a network. No pricing or availability information was given.

Also in the security realm, D-Link showcased the new fixed lens 3GPP/ISMA Wireless Internet Camera. This camera will allow users to do mobile monitoring from compatible cell phones. Features on this camera include support of resolutions up to 640 x 480 with user selectable JPEG or MPEG-4 compression rates, support for playback on a network attached computer or media player and a built-in web-based user interface. It supports both static and dynamic IP addressing.

In entertainment offerings, D-Link was demonstrating a new wireless streaming media server. The new Wireless HD Media Server is what D-Link is calling the first ever streaming wireless high definition media/player server with 100GB of built-in storage and a 5-in-1 media card reader. It is part of the MediaLounge device family, sports a HDMI interface, is PlaysForSure certified and can support a variety of media formats including XviD video and Ogg Vorbis audio.

Other interesting products from D-Link in the coming year include a USB phone adapter to connect an existing corded or cordless phone to VoIP provider Skype and a Vonage co-branded telephone adapter which supports two broadband telephone lines.

The best cooler for the 7800X3D isn’t as powerful as you’d think

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best CPU for gaming, and it's incredibly efficient, which means for most PC users who aren't looking to transcode video or create 3D renders, it's the best CPU overall. As efficient as it is, though, you do still need to cool it, and if you want it to run cool and quiet, you need a relatively capable one. But which is best?

You could just buy the best air cooler or AIO cooler available, and that will work absolutely fine. Really well, in fact. But you don't need to. Thanks to its relatively modest TDP, the 7800X3D doesn't actually need a monster cooler to run quietly and run well. You can save a lot of money by going with something more modest.

The 4 best cable modems for Xfinity, Spectrum & more in 2024

If you have home internet, you'll likely have been sent a towering internet box we call a cable modem. Seemingly innocuous, that modem can cost you big time over the years as you usually have to pay rental fee to your ISP provider for using it. It only makes sense to get a your own modem, with some essentially paying for themselves.

However, you may not be sure which one to get. In this guide, we look at the best cable modems for the three most popular cable internet service providers — Xfinity Comcast, Spectrum, and Cox — and give a solid recommendation for each. We also provide a solid budget recommendation that is just about equally good for all so long as you aren't using your ISP's top speed plan.

Glasses-free 3D gaming can be amazing — but only if it’s done right

Lies of P on Samsung's glasses-free 3D gaming monitor at CES 2024.

Glasses-free 3D is making a comeback. And please -- don't roll your eyes and write this off as a gimmick just yet.

I saw two similar 3D gaming monitors at CES last week that used this technology and tracked your eyes to fool you into seeing depth in a 2D screen. It's pretty convincing stuff, especially for games. I really want to see this technology come to fruition, but based on what I've seen so far, it needs to be done the right way if it hopes to get people's attention. The term "3D" has left a bad taste in people's mouths, and if this new wave of monitors wants to undo that, it needs to make a good first impression.
