Introduction

What is RangeMax?

NETGEAR’s RangeMax extends your 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 in a wireless router. 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. So if you move your laptop, or someone starts talking on a cordless phone, RangeMax detects the change and adapts with over 100 possible antenna configurations. RangeMax Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, PC Card, and PCI Adapter are optimized for use with the RangeMax Wireless Router, so that everyone enjoys high-speed connections everywhere in your house—with virtually no dropouts or dead spots.

Extended Coverage. Consistent Connection. Faster Speeds.

By using multiple simultaneous signals to overcome interference, RangeMax Wireless Router boosts network coverage throughout the house. What’s more, it maintains much faster wireless connections at distances where a standard g router’s signal fades and degrades.

Features

• Turns dead spots into hot spots
• Provides Touchless WiFi Security
• Maintains 100% compatibility with 802.11b/g networks
