D-Link Introduces Greener Wi-Fi
New Wireless Routers Use Up to 41% Less Energy
When you're done using your PC, you turn it off, right?
But what about your wireless router? Do you turn that off, too?
If you're like most people (or businesses), you probably leave your Wi-Fi running 24-7. That can eat up some extra energy that you don't need to use.
D-Link has a solution that can save both energy and money. Their new line of energy-efficient Wi-Fi routers come with a program called Wi-Fi Scheduler, which allows uses to select certain times of the day when their router will shut down. According to D-Link, this can offer a power savings of between 31 and 41%, depending on which of their three new models you're using.
But this isn't the only green innovation in these new routers. They also automatically detect what links are being used, and adjust their power use accordingly. The devices are also manufactured according to RoHS and WEEE standards, meaning they contain fewer hazardous materials and are easier to recycle.
D-Link's new routers are available now from various retailers or directly through the company. The Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) costs $149.99, the Xtreme N Gaming Router (DGL-4500) is priced at $239.99, and the Xtreme N Duo™ Media Router (DIR-855) costs $359.99.
