Popular home and small business network electronics maker, D-Link, has announced that they’ve become one of the first manufacturers to produce energy-saving home network Wi-Fi routers capable of saving up to 40 percent in power usage.

D-Link is expanding its Green Initiative by adding eco-friendly features to its award-winning Xtreme N™ line of Wi-Fi Internet routers to decrease energy costs by reducing power consumption.
