RANGEMAX™ SMART MIMO WIRELESS ROUTER – WPN824

Wireless Connectivity - Range Matters
The WPN824 RangeMax™ Wireless Router adjusts to interference and the physical barriers in your home to deliver up to 500,000 square feet of coverage. With RangeMax™ wireless dynamic connectivity there is no need to spend extra money on range extenders, repeaters and external antennas. There is also no need to throw away your older wireless devices; RangeMax™ is compatible with 802.11b, 802.11g and SuperG™ products and will boost their range and speed by up to 50%.

New Technology - Smart MIMO
RangeMax™ is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-in, Multi-Out*) technology that uses seven internal antennas. The RangeMax™ WPN824 wireless router constantly surveys your home or office environment for physical barriers and interference: The RangeMax™ router adapts on the fly, adjusting the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example; if you carry your laptop from the living room to the study, 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 dropouts and no wireless dead spots.

Security
NETGEAR ensures that every computer, laptop or console user connected to your wireless network can work and play safely.

These security features add powerful safeguards against unauthorised usage.
