Creating the ultimate home network Brad Little, director of consumer channels, NETGEAR Australia and New Zealand
Whether you call it a connected home, a smart home, a smart house or residential technology, it is clear that consumer technologies are becoming more mainstream and integrated into the home environment. Look around and quickly count the number of internet-enabled devices you have at home. Imagine if they could all “talk” to each other seamlessly over a fast Wi-Fi network sharing information. Well, that is not only possible but very simple! Today, all you need is an internet connection and a few of the right devices to transform your house into a truly connected home.
A wireless router enables you to create a wireless network that allows computers and devices to share files and documents in any room in the home without the clutter and mess of cables. When selecting a Wi-Fi router, you should look at all of your digital devices and consider the ways in which they can be used together. Do you want to stream videos from your last holiday directly from your storage device to your 50-inch television screen? Do you plan to chat online with your work colleagues while working remotely from home in the family room? Don’t forget the size and layout of your home as an important consideration – will your Wi-Fi router provide wireless coverage to each corner of the home?
NETGEAR Wi-Fi routers deliver simple and practical connectivity for any internet-enabled device, providing seamless access to and sharing of digital media at any time throughout the home. For example, high performance, dual band wireless routers like the N600 (DGND3700) deliver fast connection speeds over two concurrent frequencies to avoid channel overcrowding, interference and to provide the greatest range for demanding applications like HD video streaming. This means multiple devices can connect to each other or the internet without compromising on connection speed or range.
NETGEAR’s latest wireless router, the N600 Premium Edition (WNDR3800) also supports ReadySHARE cloud. This new service offered by NETGEAR transforms a regular USB storage drive into a private “cloud” storage system, allowing you to securely access and share your files saved on your home network anywhere, any time over the internet. Imagine being able to access your travel insurance forms saved on your hard drive in Australia while you sit in the departures terminal at Heathrow Airport. For frequent travellers, using ReadySHARE Cloud with the N600 Premium Edition also allows you to share and access files through apps from NETGEAR for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android smart-phones and tablets.
The average family now has a huge amount of digital media, including photos, music, videos and documents, saved on multiple devices scattered throughout the home. Imagine how you would feel if you lost your whole digital music collection or all of your digital photos; yet most people fail to take the simple steps to back up their digital content. Today’s connected home needs a reliable, affordable and simple storage solution that will centralise multimedia content that is accessible anytime, anywhere and on any screen.
The ReadyNAS Ultra Family is a series of powerful network-attached storage (NAS) devices with built-in media server capabilities that allow advanced home users to store, share, and protect their digital assets with confidence. These home media servers are ideal for users with large digital media libraries who want to take their media files wherever they go. What’s more, NETGEAR’s powerful Work and Play Storage devices automatically back up your data, so you can be sure your precious and valuable digital content is safe for the future.
A truly connected home – where you can share digital content seamlessly among devices – is more popular and easier to set up than ever before. Consult a retailer to help you decide what the best solution is for you and your family and make sure you consider your specific needs. By taking a few simple steps, you can truly benefit from a connected home through your internet enabled devices.
