Page 6: Introduction
The ERA150 delivers up to 3x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage than legacy 802.11b/g wireless devices. Even though the ERA150 has been designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it is also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless range of an existing home router, especially in very architecturally-challenging structures to provide whole home connectivity. -
