Highlights
1000% more coverage than 802.11g
As a 21st-century consumer, your notebook computer is an integral part of your life. But does your home computing environment work for you? Even if you already have a wireless network, you’ve probably found “dead spots” in your home where your Internet connection fades in and out or drops off completely.
Now, say goodbye to those dead spots … and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home!
With the RangeMax Wireless Router and USB Adapter, your whole house becomes a “hot spot.” NETGEAR’s exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless network 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.
Range Matters
Put the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless USB Adapter to work for you, and that’s all you need – leave those range extenders, repeaters, and external antennas at the store. The RangeMax Wireless USB Adapter is optimized for use with the RangeMax Wireless Router which 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 the RangeMax Wireless USB Adapter is 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products – so you are free to connect at home, work, or public hotspots.
Power Under the Hood
RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas in the wireless router. The RangeMax Wireless Router constantly surveys your home environment for barriers and interference and adjusts the signal to compensate for these performance inhibitors. For example, if you carry your laptop from room to room, the RangeMax Wireless Router automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! The RangeMax Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter is optimized for use with the RangeMax Wireless Router so that everyone will enjoy high-speed connections, everywhere in your house—no drop-outs, and no dead spots.

Think you can’t set up your wireless network without an engineering degree? Think again. NETGEAR’s SmartWizard™ makes the set-up easy and hassle-free. NETGEAR also ensures that every computer user in your home network can work and play safely – with WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) Security, your network will have powerful safeguards against unauthorized usage.
