RangePlus Wireless Router
Expand Your Wireless Coverage with MIMO
The RangePlus Wireless Router is really three
devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you
connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex
10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the
Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a
high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
The Access Point built into the Router uses
smart antenna technology to achieve extended range. Unlike ordinary wireless
networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, the "Multiple
In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology actually uses these reflections to increase
the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust
signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than
standard Wireless-G.
With MIMO, the farther away you are, the more
speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B
equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are MIMO enabled, the router
can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band. But
unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, the RangePlus Wireless Router can
dynamically enable this double-speed mode for compatible devices, while still
connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds.
To help protect your data and privacy, the
Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit
encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI
firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks,
and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web
browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router at
the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet
connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive
applications at incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!
