WLS 108Mbps RangeMax Smart MIMO Router

Product Overview:

As a 21st-century consumer, computers are an integral part of your life. But
doesyour home computing environment work for you? Even if you already
have a wireless network, you’ve probably found “dead spots” in your home
where yourInternet 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.”
NETGEAR’s 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 you’ll have a sizzling-fast, consistent
connection in every room of your house … and beyond.

Put the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Router to work for you, and that’s 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 don’t 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%.

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.

Think you can’t set up your wireless router without an engineering degree?
Think again. NETGEAR’s SmartWizard makes the set-up easy and hassle-free.
SmartWizard automatically detects your ISP’s network settings, then walks you
through each step of the installation process. It’s like having your own computer
technician, right by your side.

NETGEAR also ensures that every computer user in your home network
can work and play safely – with a double firewall, WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-SharedKey) Security,
your network will have powerful safeguards against unauthorized usage.
