New app promises to route multi-media over Wi-Fi

Streaming video across a household wireless network is something that’s generally not recommended.

D-Link is trying to change that by putting 802.11n technology to work.

As you may know, 802.11n is the new longer-range, high-speed Wi-Fi specification, a significant upgrade from traditional 802.11b/g devices. D-Link’s Xtreme Duo MediaBridge device, called the DAP-1555, connects to existing routers, enabling them to stream multimedia content over 5 GHz, a channel that is freer and clearer than the crowded 2.4 Ghz, that traditional Wi-Fi devices share with cordless phones.

D-Link has only just announced the device and it’s not expected to ship until fall so we’ve not had a chance to try it out. The price has not even been determined as yet. But we’re anxious to see how it works.

    Is D-Link not using Ruckus’ technology for this?
