Product Description NETGEAR’s RangeMax Wireless Router extends your wireless network coverage up to 10 times that of standard 802.11g, thanks to an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that incorporates seven “intelligent ” internal antennas. The antennas continuously scan your home, automatically sensing physical obstacles and electronic interference, then dynamically adjust the wireless signal to compensate and maintain a clear connection. Even throughout large homes with thick walls and multiple floors, you enjoy reliable high-speed connections, with virtually no dropouts or dead spots. What’s more, securing your wireless network has never been easier. NETGEAR’s Touchless WiFi Security allows you to easily establish the highest level of wireless network security (WEP, WPA/PSK, or WPA2/PSK). In addition, with an integrated Security Dashboard, you can monitor and manage access to inappropriate websites. These parental controls are password protected and are router-based.
Strong signal, easy set up
