Well it looks like ASUS is not gonna let the big boys – D-link, Netgear, Linksys – have all the fun in the network entertainment and storage space. According to reports at CES 2006, ASUS showcased a new Digital Media Hub (WL-700gE) and Networked DVD Player (AS862) that are expected to launch this February.
The WL-700gE is their digital media hub and it sports a 160GB hard drive for storage of media files. It can wirelessly receive content such as songs or pictures from a PC or directly from the Internet. Content stored on this device can be wirelessly accessed throughout a home and it comes with three built-in USB ports to connect things like printers and speakers.
Asus’s new networked DVD player is the AS862. This device can play DVDs as well as download content from a WL-700gE or from cable. It can accept a variety of picture, sound and video formats and offers multiple interface options such as a built-in 4-in-1 card reader, four USB 2.0 ports and a 10/100 Ethernet connection. – DesignTechnica
