PRODUCT DATA
RangePlus Wireless Router
The RangePlus Wireless Router is really three devices in one box. First, there’s the
Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There’s
also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices
together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network
share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
The Access Point built into the Router uses smart antenna technology to achieve
extended range. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused
by signal reflections, the“Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology actually
uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless
coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections
much farther than standard Wireless-G.
With MIMO, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works
great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the
wireless link are MIMO enabled, the router can increase the throughput even more
by using twice as much radio band. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies,
the RangePlus Wireless Router can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for
compatible devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective
fastest speeds.
To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions
with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network’s DHCP
Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most
known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with
the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router at the center of your home or office
network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-
player games, and run media-intensive applications at incredible speeds, without the
hassle of stringing wires!

PRODUCT DATA
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless
network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends on many factors, conditions and variables, including distance
from the access point, volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
