By Ian Bell April 11, 2005

Netgear announced the availability of the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch (model WGPS606). It is a 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with two USB ports, a built-in four-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch and a Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The device is destined to benefit home and small office users who need to connect multiple printers, personal computers, gaming consoles, and digital music players to their existing wireless network.

The multifunctional NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch enables people with wireless home networks to connect up to two USB printers where it’s most convenient, without being required to run unsightly cables across their home. Small office users will benefit from connecting a remote cluster of up to four personal computers to the wireless network, easily and cost-effectively, without needing to buy new wireless adapters for each. Additionally, all the PCs in the office can then share access to up to two inkjet or laserjet USB printers wirelessly. The sleek, upright case and small footprint of the Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch also saves space in the home or office.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards

Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.

Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
