Belkin Home Base Wireless Network Sharing Device

Tweet

More and more home users are getting over their fears of networking and diving right in. Manufacturers are making it easier for ordinary, less tech savvy folks to take advantage of services like DLNA and wireless home network storage devices and the latest product introduction from Belkin, the Home Base, speaks right to this change in consumer mindset. The Home Base is a user-friendly device that integrates right into existing home networks and enables wireless sharing of multiple USB peripherals.

Belkin’s Home Base is really a brilliant little device. It has taken the guesswork out of sharing devices on a home-based wireless network by essentially turning the unit into its own wireless server. The Home Base has push-button setup and allows users to connect up to four USB devices and share them with other users on their home network. You can connect USB hard drives, printers, cameras, PMPs, just about anything that has a USB connection, and it will instantly become accessible to other users on your network.

Some of the cool features include the ability to turn the Home Base into a NAS device by hooking up external storage devices and the fact that you can take advantage of DLNA content from devices like the Xbox 360 and PS3 to access multimedia files directly through your wireless setup. This means streaming movies and music anywhere in your house. The Home Base uses 802.11b/802.11g/802.11n wi-fi and is compatible with both PC and Mac machines. Expected to go on sale later this month, the Belkin Home Base will retail for $129.99. Head on over to www.belkin.com for more info.
