D-Link International has announced that its award-winning Draft 802.11n Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) now allows users to monitor network performance through the use of Yahoo! Widgets. D-Link is the first network company to offer support for Yahoo! Widgets utilities on its home network products.

"We're excited to offer Yahoo! Widgets as an added value to our customers," said Mr George Wong, Marketing Director, D-Link International Pte Ltd.   "D-Link's addition of the popular desktop utility tool demonstrates our ongoing commitment to making our networking products as best in class."

The ‘D-Link Network Monitor' Widget will display key network performance data for Internet, WLAN and LAN connections. Over 30 types of network data are easily viewable from the widget, including the number of networked devices and security settings, making management of a home network easier and more convenient.

Yahoo! Widgets provide users with access to more than 4,800 desktop applications that allow them to stay current with a live, at-a-glance view of their favourite Internet information and services, PC performance and the status of peripheral computer components such as an Xtreme N network.
