Range Max™ Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) Technology
Netgear's RangeMax Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology provides up to five times more
coverage than standard 802.11g alone by eliminating "dead spots" in your area of coverage where
you use your wireless computers. Your whole house or office suite now becomes a "hot spot"
without requiring any range extenders, repeaters, or external antennae. RangeMax maintains your
high speed throughout your home, not just when you are close to your router.
RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses six internal
antennae. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and
interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers.
For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax
automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to
deliver the fastest, clearest connection so that everyone can enjoy consistently high-speed
connections, everywhere in your house with no drop-outs and no dead spots.
RangeMax is also 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products (i.e., 802.11b, 802.11g,
Centrino, and SuperG™ wireless clients) and boosts their range and speed by up to 50%.
