Fast mobile hotspot device for travellers
A safe and reliable internet connection is vital to most of us when we travel.
You can rely on wi-fi in hotels and public places, but that does come with security risks, and the speed and reliability of the connection can be quite limiting — especially if you are travelling with a troop of data-hungry children.
Having your own mobile hotspot can solve all that.
D-Link, a Taiwanese manufacturer of networking hardware and telecoms equipment, has unveiled a new device that enables users to stay connected on the go by sharing fast 4G-plus internet with up to 64 devices simultaneously, which can be vital if you are travelling with teenagers.
The compact DWR-933M delivers fast, secure connectivity for smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
It's easy to set up and use. Simply insert a data-enabled Nano SIM into the built-in SIM card slot, download the free D-Link Mobile Connect App (available on iOS and Android) and follow the prompts, and you're good to go.
The DWR-933M combines the power of wi-fi 6 with dual-band support (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and speeds of up to 600Mbps, while 4G+ LTE Cat6 delivers download speeds up to 300Mbps. It also includes a USB-C port for convenient charging and supports WPA2 encryption for enhanced security.
It has a 1.7-inch TFT display for status notifications and a built-in 3000mAh battery that provides up to 12 hours of typical use.
The new D-Link DWR-933M Mobile Hotspot cost $99.95 and is available from
dlink.com.au
and from all authorised D-Link retailers such as JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks.

Car giant's space fight with Musk
Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring News. Followed categories will be added to My News. One of the world's biggest car makers has joined Elon Musk in the race to the stars. Honda has officially entered the space race alongside Musk's Space X, after Japan's second largest carmaker announced it had successfully launched a 'resusable rocket prototype'. In the same week, a Space X rocket dramatically blew up while preparing to take flight, Honda showed it was serious about its space exploration ambitions, first mentioned four years ago. Honda R&D, which is a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co. said it 'conducted a launch and landing test of an experimental reusable rocket developed independently by Honda'. Musk's SpaceX rocket goes kablam. Picture X The rocket, which was 6.3m long, 85cm in diameter and weighed 1312kg, reached an altitude of 271.4m and landed within 37cm of the target touchdown point after a flight of 57s. According to Honda R&D, the purpose of the test, conducted at a Honda facility in Taiki Town on Hokkaido, the northern most of Japan's main islands, was the 'establishment of key technologies necessary for a reusable rocket'. 'This test marked the first launch and landing test conducted by Honda with an aim to demonstrate key technologies essential for rocket reusability, such as flight stability during ascent and descent, as well as landing capability,' Honda said in a statement. Honda engineers prepare the rocket. Picture: Honda Honda conducts a successful launch and landing test of its Experimental Reusable Rocket.

Honda conducts surprise reusable rocket test
Honda has succeeded in a launch and landing test of its prototype reusable rocket, the Japanese company says in a surprise announcement, marking a milestone towards its 2029 goal of achieving a suborbital spaceflight. Honda R&D, the research arm of Japan's second-biggest car maker, successfully landed its 6.3-metre experimental reusable launch vehicle after reaching an altitude of 271 metres at its test facility in northern Japan's space town Taiki, according to the company. While "no decisions have been made regarding commercialisation of these rocket technologies, Honda will continue making progress in the fundamental research with a technology development goal of realising technological capability to enable a suborbital launch by 2029," it said in a statement. Honda in 2021 said it was studying space technologies such as reusable rockets but it has not previously announced the details of the launch test. A suborbital launch may touch the verge of outer space but does not enter orbit. Studying launch vehicles "has the potential to contribute more to people's daily lives by launching satellites with its own rockets, that could lead to various services that are also compatible with other Honda business," the company added. Reusable launch vehicles have been the driver of emerging commercial space missions over the past decade, led by SpaceX's Falcon 9, while its US rivals including Blue Origin and companies in China and Europe also have reusable rocket plans. Tokyo-based startup Innovative Space Carrier last month said it will test-launch a prototype reusable rocket in the United States in December using a US-made engine. Honda's rival Toyota, the world's biggest car maker by sales, earlier this year announced an investment by its research arm in Taiki-based rocket maker Interstellar Technologies to support mass production of launch vehicles. Japan's government has established a multibillion-dollar space venture fund to subsidise private rockets, satellites and other missions, targeting to double its space industry's size to 8 trillion yen ($US55.20 billion) by the early 2030s.
