Expand the Range of Your Wireless Network!
The easiest way to
expand your wireless
network's coverage
Compatible with both
Wireless-G and Wireless-B
networking clients
Save on wiring costs—
no wired connection to
your network necessary
Extend your wireless
signal into hard-to-
reach areas
Expand the range of your wireless network! The Linksys
Wireless-G Range Expander is the easy way to increase the
effective coverage of your wireless network.
Unlike adding a traditional access point to your network to
expand wireless coverage, the Wireless-G Range Expander
does not need to be connected to the network by a data
cable. Just put it within range of your main access point or
wireless router, and it “bounces” the signals out to remote
wireless devices.
This “relay station” or “repeater” approach saves wiring costs
and helps to build wireless infrastructure by driving signals into
even those distant, reflective corners and hard-to-reach
areas where wireless coverage is spotty and cabling is
impractical. The Range Expander is perfect to help cover
large areas in multi-story homes, warehouse environments,
public spaces, wireless “Hot Spots”, and outdoor venues—
anywhere you need extra coverage for your wireless network.
The Wireless-G Range Expander is compatible with the Linksys
WAP54G Access Point, and both the WRT54G and WRT54GS
Wireless Routers. It works with both Wireless-G and Wireless-B
clients so you'll get the benefits of increased coverage, even
with a mixed network.
So, expand your wireless network's effective coverage the
easy way, with the Wireless-G Range Expander.
