Wireless Signal
Booster
Turn up the volume on your Wireless LAN! The Linksys
Wireless Signal Booster piggybacks onto your Linksys
WirelessAccess Point (or Wireless Access Point Router) to
increase the effective range and coverage area of the 802.11b
network. The added signal strength also helps speed up your
close-range communications, because every packet comes
through “loud and clear”, reducing retransmissions due to
reception errors.
To install,just stack theWireless Signal Booster on yourAccess
Point, move the antennas to the Booster, and attach the
Booster's twin cables to the Access Point—no drivers or modi-
fications to your setup are necessary.
The Linksys Wireless Signal Booster saves wiring costs and
helps to build corporate wireless infrastructure by driving sig-
nals even into those distant, reflective corners and hard-to-
reach areas. And it’s perfect for covering large areas in ware-
house environments,public spaces, wireless hotspots,and out-
doorvenues—anywhereyou need extracoveragefor your wire-
less LAN.
