RANGEMAX WIRELESS USB 2.0 ADAPTER

A NIC or Network Interface Card is a circuit board or chip, which allows the computer to communicate to other computers on a Network. When connected to the network, computers can share websites, files, printers and other resources. The most popular networking standard at the moment is Ethernet, which one can recognize by the rectangular connectors with eight wires in them. Wireless network with the 802.11b and the faster 802.11g standard is also increasingly popular, both at home and in the office, though it is not yet as fast as wired (ethernet) network. A public place where you can use wireless internet is called a "hot spot".

Wireless Connectivity - Range Matters
Staying wirelessly connected in your home or office can be tricky, especially as your environment continually changes. For example someone with a cordless phone might walk between your primary wireless signal and your computer or a microwave oven might click on. This interference can cause a drop in wireless data speed or drop out altogether.

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. This means that with a WPN111 Wireless USB Adapter inserted, your computer or laptop will not be prone to loss of wireless speed or dropouts - ensuring continual high speed Internet and network access anywhere in your home or office.

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 are sitting in your kitchen using your laptop with a WPN111 inserted, your partner turning on the microwave will not disrupt your wireless coverage, because the WPN824 will adapt to the change, using a different antenna configuration to strengthen the signal.

Security
By easily setting up WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) security on your WPN824 router and WPN111 USB wireless adapter your computer or laptop will be well protected. These security features and the Firewall built into the WPN824 router add powerful safeguards against unauthorised usage.
