Introduction
What
is RangeMax?
NETGEAR’s
RangeMax Wireless Router extends your wireless
network coverage up to 10 times that of standard
802.11g, thanks to an advanced Smart MIMO
(Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that incorporates
seven “intelligent ” internal antennas.
The antennas continuously scan your home,
automatically sensing physical obstacles and
electronic interference, then dynamically
adjust the wireless signal to compensate and
maintain a clear connection. Even throughout
large homes with thick walls and multiple
floors, you enjoy reliable high-speed connections,
with virtually no dropouts or dead spots.
What’s more, securing your wireless network
has never been easier. NETGEAR’s Touchless
WiFi Security allows you to easily establish
the highest level of wireless network security
(WEP, WPA/PSK, or WPA2/PSK). In addition,
with an integrated Security Dashboard, you
can monitor and manage access to inappropriate
websites. These parental controls are password
protected and are router-based, so every PC
accessing the Internet can be managed from
one central location.
