Digisol DG-BR1016NC
150Mbps Wireless Multi-Function Broadband Router
The DG-BR1016NC is a minuscule device which acts as a 150Mbps wireless multifunctional broadband router. The device is powered directly through a regular wall power socket. It features media sharing via its built-in USB ports. One of the USB ports can also be used to connect a 3G dongle for sharing the 3G connection across the network. Not only does the DG-BR1016NC share the 3G connection via the USB port, but its other USB port can also be used for charging your Android or iOS based smartphones, tablets and other portable USB devices.
Using 802.11n, the DG-BR1016NC is capable of streaming data at 150Mbps to its connected devices. An app from Digisol called DigiShare is also available for Android and iOS devices which provides a better multi-media streaming experience for your portable devices. There is also a handy AP (Access Point) On/Off switch at the side of the router which makes it very easy to switch Wireless AP mode On/Off. The router also supports various wireless security measures such as WEP (64/128 bit), WPA-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPA-Mixed Mode, Disable SSID broadcast.
