As a 21st-century consumer, computers are an integral part of your life. But does your home computing environment work for you? Even if you already have a wireless network, youve probably found �dead spots� in your home where your Internet connection fades in and out, or drops off completely.
Now, say good-bye to those dead spots � and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home!
With the RangeMax Wireless Router, your whole house becomes a �hot spot.� NETGEARs exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless device on the market today - up to 10 times the wireless coverage of 802.11g. So youll have a sizzling-fast, consistent connection in every room of your house � and beyond.
Range Matters
Put the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Router to work for you, and thats all you need � leave those range extenders, repeaters, and external antennas at the store. RangeMax adjusts to the interference and physical barriers in your home, and delivers up to 500,000 square feet of coverage � 1000% more than 802.11g. And you dont need to throw away your old wireless devices; RangeMax is 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products and will boost their range and speed by up to 50%.
Power Under the Hood
RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas.
RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection!
Everyone will enjoy consistently high-speed connections, everywhere in your house � no drop-outs, and no dead spots.
