The RangeMax Wireless Access Point from Netgear can be used to add wireless capabilities to your network or to expand a wireless network's range using a bridging function. The access point is designed for use in environments where wireless range is crucial. It uses Smart MIMO technology to give it a larger coverage area than standard access points. It can also be configured as a wireless repeater to increase the coverage area of an existing wireless network.
The WAP offers speeds of up to 108 Mbps when used in conjunction with other Atheros Super G devices. It is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b devices at speeds of up to 11 Mbps.
Whether you are a new user looking to add wireless capabilities to a home network or a professional administrator who needs to expand the range of a complex wireless network, you will find that this WAP will suit your needs.
