Computex 2011: Thermaltake Announces Surge Protector with Remote Wireless Sensor

As you may know, most electronic products still consume power when they are “turned off.” (Read our article How Much Power Do Electronic Equipment Consume When in Standby Mode? for an in-depth analysis of this problem.) Some manufacturers have launched products to solve this issue, like the Belkin Conserve line of surge protectors and the PC TrickleSaver . Belkin offers a mode with a wireless remote control, however, you have to manually turn the switch on or off. The PC TrickleSaver has a USB sensor to automatically detect when you turned off your computer in order to remove the power supply entirely from the power grid, but this solution requires a wire to be connected at one of the computer’s USB ports. Also, it only comes with one AC outlet.

The Thermaltake surge protector addresses all these issues. It has a USB wireless sensor, so there is no cable running from your computer to the device. And it has four outlets that are turned off remotely by the sensor, so you are able to connect your computer, printer, video monitor, and other external peripherals without having to use any adapter. It also has two outlets that are always turned on and two USB ports for you to charge USB devices such as MP3 players. The surge protector is rated at 1080 joules.

Wireless USB Adapter

The system has a standard ethernet card built on mobo. Works fine. Client wants PC in another room on wireless. Installed Belkin wireless usb. Utility shows SSID, device manager shows Belkin wireless, network connections shows wireless. The problem is, I have set the wireless router for mac filter. When I go to DOS prompt and do an ipconfig /all, the ethernet card shows up with mac address, the wireless does not show up at all. Thinking there is a problem with the Belkin I bought a new Dlink and installed only to discover it does the same thing. What gives, anyone have any ideas as to why the wireless won't resolve and show IP and Mac?
