Okay, we’ll admit – the whole wireless home theater streaming thing just hasn’t been operating for us. DLNA is spotty, browsing stuff about the PS3 is leggy, and Boxee needs us to sacrifice our laptops (how are we suppose to tweet about stuff while watching stuff?). Luckily, Netgear appears to have the correct concept (or at least, on paper) with their latest Wireless Home Theater Kit. Let’s have a look.
Developed to match the rest of their router line, Netgear’s hi-tech kit consists of a pair of adapters – a single which plugs into your router or gateway, as well as the other attaches to your computer, gaming console or Ethernet/WiFi-TV. Utilizing the 5GHz band for transmission, these adapters are made to steer clear of interference with other wireless gear.
Sounds a whole lot like that Philips Wireless HDTV Link we checked out not as well extended ago, no? Properly, it’s almost certainly more like a wireless-N turbocharger than anything. Nevertheless, we do appreciate the truth that for the Netgear Wireless Home Theater Kit, you’ll be able to often obtain a lot more adapters, permitting for readily accessible expandability of your turbo-charged network when required. We’ll just have to determine how this poor boy performs as soon as we get a unit in for testing.
