Amped Wireless AV3000 Brings Your A/V Components Online

Networking solutions are a dime-a-dozen these days, but Amped Wireless has a new solution that's actually far more useful and practical than most. The company's new A/V Net Connect is a home Wi-Fi network bridge for audio and video devices, enabling network connectivity for things like Blu-ray players, game consoles and TVs. The AV3000, as it's known, basically eliminates the need to run long, unsightly Ethernet cords to each and every component in your house that needs an Internet connection. Game consoles and other set-top boxes around the TV come to mind; they need to be online, but it's rare to find an Ethernet port near your TV.


This particular box uses five Ethernet ports, so that up to five non-networked devices can be brought online. It'll work with most 802.11b/g/n wireless routers, and it also features a 300Mbps 802.11n wireless bandwidth channel for streaming HD media. The box should be available soon for around $99.99, which sure beats laying miles and miles of Ethernet cord.
