RangeMax Wireless Router
WPN824

Share your high speed internet connection with every room in your home.

The seven built-in antennas use Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology to continuously search out and adjust your wireless signal for the fastest, clearest connection with no drop-outs or dead spots.

As a 21st-century consumer, computers are 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 good-bye to those dead spots … and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home! With the RangeMax Wireless Router, your whole house becomes a “hot spot.”

NETGEAR’s exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless device 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.
