The Ultra RangePlus
Wireless-
N Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, theres the
Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. Theres 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 the very latest
wireless networking technology:
Wireless-
N draft 802.11n. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios,
Wireless-Ns Multiple In, Multiple Out MIMO technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary
wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO 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
Wireless-
N, 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
Wireless-
N, the
router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard
Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies,
Wireless-
N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for
Wireless-
N devices, while still connecting to other
wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the good neighbor mode ensures that the
Router checks for other
wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band. 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 networks 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 t
