MediaSmart Server EX485 - HP

You have media files: music, movies, pictures, and video. If your Macs are networked, the MediaSmart Server effectively shares these and other files. But there’s a bizarre catch... read more at MacLife

AirPort Extreme Base Station - Apple

Think back to the first time you saw a computer accessing the Internet wirelessly. (Yes, kids, there was a time before Wi-Fi). It totally blew your mind, didn’t it? Since then, Wi-Fi base stations have become something of a commodity.... read more at Macworld

BT Business Mobile Broadband - BT

3G broadband for free isn't too good to be true. BT's new mobile broadband service is ?17.50 a month standalone, and gratis if you're on its Professional Business Broadband options 2 or 3... read more at MacUserUK

200 Mbps Powerline Network Adapter - MacWireless

Before I dive into the review of MacWireless’s 200 Mbps Powerline Network Adapter, I need to clarify something about the device. Despite the company’s name, the Powerline is not a wireless network device in any way, shape, or form... read more at Macworld

Sonos Bundle 150 - Sonos

Instead of lugging a boom box from room to room or turning up the volume on your stereo or TV really loud, the Sonos Bundle 150 lets you blast tunes all around your house via a network. The basic complement includes hardware to play songs in two locations, with your own speakers or connection to a home stereo... read more at MacLife

WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router - Linksys

Mac users want to stream and sync video and play networked games without getting bogged down by lagging data. The Linksys WRT610N router takes advantage of modern Wi-Fi standards by creating two networks at once: a high-frequency, high-speed 5GHz network for media, and a slower backward-compatible 2.4GHz network... read more at Macworld

Devolo dLan 200 AV Starter Kit - Devolo

Wifi is a great way to extend your network without having to install new wiring, but it's not without its problems. Potential health issues aside, it can struggle with walls and ceilings, and getting a reliable signal to cover your home or office can prove impossible... read more at MacUserUK

Sling Media Slingbox - Sling Media

The Slingbox is a media streaming device that sends TV to your Mac instead of putting content on your TV from your Mac. It's not just TV, though: the Slingbox can transmit any video signal over your home network and even over the Internet for remote viewing. Basically, it shifts the video signal from your set-top box or similar to your Mac and lets you control it as if you were sitting in front of your TV... read more at MacUserUK

Apple Xserve Quad Core 2GHz - Apple Inc

The arrival of an Intel-based server from Apple marks the completion of a surprisingly painless migration from PowerPC to x86. It also presents a number of current and potential users with a dilemma over whether to upgrade or deploy Apple's powerful new 1U rack server ... read more at MacUserUK

Apple AirPort Extreme - Apple Inc

The AirPort Extreme looks a bit like a Mac mini that has been driven under a low bridge. It has the same slab-like, minimalist styling and the same footprint, so you could easily stack them. At the rear is a Wan Ethernet port for connecting an ADSL or cable modem, and a USB port that lets you connect a storage device or a printer. There are only three Ethernet ports for connecting wired devices on your network, though; many routers have four ... read more at MacUserUK

WHR-G54S 125 High-Speed Mode Wireless Smart Router - Buffalo Technology

WHEN YOU NEED to setup a wireless router, you usually need it badly. Maybe there's an email waiting somewhere in Internet limbo, but your laptop only connects wirelessly. Or maybe you share a broadband connection with someone, and going online means you hog all the bandwidth. In these cases, the most compelling feature on the Buffalo WHR-G54S Smart Router is that it works—right away, without any fuss and without having to read the manual ... read more at macHOME

Macsense AeroPad Mini WUA-800 - Connectmac

Implementing a wireless network can be much less of a headache than a wired network. Some people, though, have no choice, as some older machines don't have the internal architecture necessary to accept AirPort or AirPort Extreme cards ... read more at MacUserUK

Netgear WPN824 - Netgear

The great thing about Apple's Airport products is that they're so easy to use, and allow even novice home users to set up a wireless network quickly and easily.
But, like all wireless networking devices that are based on the 802.11b or 802.11g technologies, they can experience reception problems in areas where there are objects such as partition walls, microwave ovens or cordless phones ... read more at MacUserUK

LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini - LaCie

LaCie's Ethernet Disk mini is a network storage device that can either sit on an Ethernet network and be read from and written to by every Mac or Windows machine on the network, or can connect directly to a Mac using a USB 2 cable.
It comes in LaCie's robust metal d2 casing and ships with a stand, an Ethernet cable, a USB cable, a power supply and a somewhat skimpy manual ... read more at MacUserUK

WiFi Locator - Hawking Technologies

The WiFi Locator looks like a cell phone—you might accidentally pick it up and talk into it if your real phone rings. If Wi-Fi searching were an illegal activity, the Locator would be great for distant discreet detection, but being the legit device it is, the flip-phone exterior seems just a little goofy. The WiFi Locator has the longest range in this trio (Hawking boasts a 1,000-foot range), though we're not sure that the signal it found at long distances was actually our signal. Still, the awesome range makes the Locator a good buy ... read more at MacAddict

WiFi Finder Plus - Kensington

We were stoked to find that the WiFi Finder Plus is now one of the formidable detectors on the market. It's also the only one that detects Bluetooth signals as well as Wi-Fi. It even sports a nifty flashlight. As reasonably priced as it is convenient, the WiFi Finder Plus fits nicely on a belt loop or a standard key ring. Our main qualms with the Finder Plus are that it can't find both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at the same time, and you can't set it to find only Wi-Fi or only Bluetooth... read more at MacAddict

Lindy Homeplug Ethernet Bridge - Lindy

Creating a basic Ethernet network is simple. However, even though the process of plugging in the network may be easy actually running cable around your house can be inconvenient. Lindy has provided a simple way of circumventing this problem with introduction of its HomePlug Ethernet Bridge... read more at MacUserUK

Wi-Finder - Marware

For frequent travelers, a tool like Marware’s $30 WiFi Spy () can really come in handy. This keychain-size device has a single button and four LEDs; hold the button down, and the LEDs tell you if you’re in range of an 802.11b or 802.11g network and indicate the signal strength. It’s even directional, which helps you close in on the source..... read more at Macworld

Thomson Speedtouch 580i - Thomson

Broadband connections are wonderful, at least when you use the right hardware. We examined a number of the best Ethernet router-based broadband modems in a recent Labs test (see Labs, 6 August 2004, p42), but Thompson's latest model, the Speedtouch 580i, wasn't available at the time of the test.... read more at MacUserUK

EyeHome - Elgato Systems

The EyeHome is a compact silver box (about the size of a small cigar box) that connects the Macs on your network to your TV and stereo via Ethernet (although you can use a wireless 802.11g bridge). The box connects to your TV via composite, component, or S-Video ports, and it includes a Toslink digital-audio port for sending sound to your stereo... read more at Macworld

Powerline System - Corinex

Wireless networking isn't the only way to connect your Macs without stringing Cat 5 Ethernet cable everywhere. Corinex's Powerline networking gear pipes your network packets through the AC (alternating current) electrical wiring of your home or small business—you can add a network port to any electrical outlet in the building. Powerline's 14-Mbps top speed is slightly faster than AirPort's 11 Mbps but slower than AirPort Extreme or 100Base-T Ethernet (54 Mbps and 100 Mbps, respectively). In Powerline's favor, its theoretical top range is 600 feet—double AirPort's. ... read more at MacAddict

WiFi Finder - Kensington

The premise of Kensington's WiFi Finder is brilliant—sniffing out wireless networks by pushing a button on this small, keychain-attachable device rather than pulling out your laptop and booting it up. But in practice, this device borders on schizophrenic ... read more at MacAddict

Air DWL-122 USB Adapter - D-Link System

ExtendAir Omni - Dr. Bott

"The ExtendAir Omni ($100) is a vertically oriented antenna that provides coverage 360 degrees around the antenna. In technical terms, it provides a 3.5 dBi gain in antenna power to the AirPort Extreme's 15.0 dBm of power. To serious networking techies, that might not sound like much, but combined with the omnidirectional coverage, that gain yields a substantial increase in range and throughput"... read more at MacAddict

AirPort Extreme Base Station - Apple

"We dig Extreme because it's cheaper and theoretically almost five times faster than regular AirPort. Even if 54 Mbps is still a pipe dream, brainless setup and 802.11b-compatibility spares AirPort Extreme our wrath"... read more at MacAddict

extendAIR - Dr. Bott

"There are two extendAIR models: Direct, which amplifies the [AirPort] signal out across a 70-degree arc, and Omni, which boosts the signal omnidirectionally. Both models have a six-foot cord and screw-holes on the base for wall mounting, and both are designed to sit happily on a desk or table"... read more at MacAddict

"For parents, the NetGear MR314 includes a few extra monitoring features that most of the other routers don't offer.

Additionally, the NetGear MR314 can send you email when someone tries to visit sites on your list." ... read more at macHOME
