Still Looking for That Last Minute Gift?
D-Link Offers Two for Sharing, Several for Caring, and Two More That Are Fast

The holidays are just around the corner! Are you stumped for gift ideas? Are you tired of giving the same old thing, or stuff that gets used once and then thrown away? If so, you might consider an attractive, easy-to-use portable router, Cloud Camera, or Cloud Router from D-Link. Portable routers bring people together by making it easy to share favorite movies, music, photos of special moments, and more. Cloud Cameras help show you care by letting you check in on family or home even if you can’t be there. Cloud routers, meanwhile, provide a safe, fast Internet connection anywhere in the house, so no matter how many computers, media players, or smartphones your family has, everyone can do their own thing online. They’re a pleasure to use, even for those of us less technically inclined, and they’ll be enjoyed daily the whole year round. Let’s take a closer look at the options.

Share Favorite Movies, Songs, and Photos with a Portable Router

More and more people today carry smartphones like the iPhone or Galaxy, or tablets like the iPad. We usually think of them as personal, private devices. With a little help from a portable router by D-Link, however, they turn into a tool for sharing. That might be photos or movies taken during special moments, favorite films, or a hot new song. Just plug a USB stick into the router, and all the files are waiting right there with the SharePort Mobile app. They can be streamed directly on any device or copied for later enjoyment. It’s a lot faster and simpler than uploading everything to Facebook first, or figuring out how to establish a direct connection between smartphones.

Portable routers also solve another common problem, Internet connectivity on the road. Outrageous roaming fees for data and bandwidth caps are everywhere, and Wi-Fi in airports and hotels can be expensive. If you carry multiple devices or travel with your family, you may be forced to choose which device, or whose, gets connected. With a portable router, however, one wired or wireless connection can be shared among several mobile devices. No more high bills and no more arguments about who gets to go online.

(DIR-505) plugs in to the wall, while the Pocket Cloud Router (DIR-506L) can be powered from a USB port on a computer or its built-in rechargeable battery. In a pinch, the DIR-506L can even be used to top up another mobile device, so you’ll always have enough juice to make one more call, send an email, or take that last picture. It can be a lifesaver in a world where smartphones often run out of battery before the day is over.

Show You Care, Any Time and Anywhere, With Cloud Cameras

Another unique gift idea is a mydlink-Enabled Cloud Camera. Connect one to your home network, and you can check in on family or house whenever and wherever you want using your smartphone. They’re especially nice for families with small children or elderly parents. You can keep an eye on your baby in the crib while you work in the office or kitchen; you can know what really happened when your kids blame each other for breaking something; and you can make sure that grandparents are doing well. A Cloud Camera helps you care for the important people in your life even when you can’t be around, and brings you peace of mind whether you’re just out for the day or on a longer trip.

Best of all, Cloud Cameras are easy to use. Many support Zero Configuration: if you have a D-Link Cloud Router, just connect the camera and it will be detected and configured for you automatically. If you can plug in a cable, you can set up a Cloud Camera. Once it’s connected, simply download the free mydlink Mobile app onto your iPhone, iPad, or Android device (the app is available on the App Store and Google Play), make sure you have an Internet connection, and you’ll be up and running with just a few taps of the screen. Of course, you can also control your camera from a PC as well.
There are a number of Cloud Camera models to choose from, depending on your needs. Indoors, go with the DCS-942L or DCS-2132L. They connect to your network wirelessly, so they can be set up just about anywhere inside the home and require fewer unsightly cables, just one for power. Although both cameras offer a clear picture, the DCS-2132L supports higher resolutions so you can see more detail. The DCS-2132L also has an SD card slot for convenient video recording. For outdoor use, you might consider the DCS-2310L or the DCS-7010L. With rugged housings that keep out water and dust, these cameras are perfect for keeping an eye on your yard, garage, or barn, no matter the weather. They also use the same line for power and network connections, making them simple to install, and support HD resolutions for crystal-clear picture quality. There’s a Cloud Camera for just about any situation.

Reach Maximum Speeds with a Cloud Router

A third option for that special someone might be a new Cloud Router. It’s the easiest way to set up a home wireless network and create a high-speed, secure Internet connection for everyone in the family. Even if you already have a wireless network, a router upgrade can bring you more reliable connectivity and higher speeds, so you can enjoy smooth HD video streaming, VoIP calling, and online gaming in every room, no matter how many other people in the house are using the network. Many models also come with extra features that add a bit of convenience or enjoyment. Two to consider are the Wireless N300 Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-636L) and the Wireless AC 1750 Dual-band Cloud Router (DIR-865L).
D-Link Cloud Routers Both the DIR-865L and DIR-636L support file sharing via USB and the SharePort Mobile app. Simply plug in a USB storage device and stored files can instantly be copied or streamed to any connected device. It’s a quick and easy way to download a movie or song on your PC and enjoy it on a smartphone or tablet, or back up photos taken on a phone, or transfer a big presentation between work and home. Both routers also support advanced parental controls; parents can use a mobile device and the mydlink platform to monitor children’s Internet activity or block unwanted connections, even when away from home. The DIR-636L supports high-speed wireless N, while the DIR-865L uses a new generation of wireless technology called 11ac to provide enough speed and coverage for even the most demanding Internet user in your household.

Conclusion

Simply fun and supremely useful, portable routers, Cloud Cameras, and Cloud routers from D-Link all make great gifts. A portable router brings people together to share, not only their favorite movies, tunes, and photos but their whole lives. A Cloud Camera lets people care for their loved ones, no matter when or where. A Cloud Router, meanwhile, makes the home network safe and fast for everyone in the house, helping keep the peace even during the most stressful times of the year. Now isn’t that worth something, this holiday season?
