D-link's Dap-1525 Wifi Booster Hones in on Devices

The DAP-1525 WiFi Booster may not look like your typical wireless router, and that's because it most definitely isn't. Yes, it connects you to the Internet without nuisance cords, but it does so much more efficiently by zoning in on exactly where the device is rather than sending out a blanket signal.
Developed by D-Link, the DAP-1525 WiFi Booster uses Smartbeam Technology to achieve this. Available in the spring, it is priced at $140. But it may be worth it considering that you'll be getting a stronger, more reliable Internet connection.
