Buffalo to release Wi-Fi Gamer wireless device
Techies gather round, for Buffalo Technology has another plug-in wireless device aimed at Wi-Fi-capable consoles (and yes, that would mean you Sony and Nintendo button mashers) which they call the Wi-Fi Gamer. If their joint offering with Nintendo was a treat for Wii and DS gamers with XP rigs, this new device might tickle your fancy. We know you’ve got lost of love for your current Wi-Fi routers, but check this one out.
Not larger than a pack of playing cards, the Wi-Fi Gamer can work devoid of Windows computers – holding off the idea of port-hogging port on your PC. Instead the AirStation OneTouch Secure System (AOSS) gadget connects to an open port in your home or office LAN and runs its own wireless access point with the press of the “Connect” button.
And while Nintendo consoles have been working with AOSS for significant time now, even Sony has upped the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable (PSP) to AOSS compatibility levels with their recent firmware upgrades. In fact, Buffalo Technology has worked closely with Sony and Nintendo to ensure the systems feature AOSS push-button connectivity.
You can expect the Wi-Fi Gamer to hit US shores by August, carrying a price tag of US$ 49.99 to US$ 59.99 and sporting multiple connected device handling features. It’s range is reportedly comparable to various other 802.11g network devices.
