Summary

With a host of important features, the Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player offers just about everything you could want in a networked media player; support for video, audio, images and Web browsing. Unfortunately it falls short in two of the four categories. While batting .500 would be history-making in baseball, when it comes to consumer electronics, having only half of your features work as intended just doesn't make the cut.

 

Actiontec's Wireless Digital Media Player handles the playback of images and video quite well, but it falls short in its Web browsing capabilities and the feature that most people are going to want the device for — playing music.

 

Actiontec has a solid start with the Wireless Digital Media Player and there are certain things it does quite well. If you are looking for a device that can play your digital photos on your TV or home-theater monitor, this would be a good choice, that also offers good movie playback and limited audio functions. If you're looking for a networked media player to play a large digital audio collection, this may not be the best choice. With some important improvements, this product just might be something worthy of most home-entertainment systems. But until then, it is simply a mediocre device in an increasingly competitive market.
