RangeMax™ 240 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter
What is RangeMax 240?
RangeMax 240 is an innovation in wireless technology, delivering wireless speeds of up to
240 Mbps†—as fast as wired Ethernet. RangeMax 240 uses an advanced MIMO (Multi-In,
Multi-Out) technology to transmit multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel.
That means, for the first time ever, you can enjoy wired speeds with wireless freedom. You
don’t need cables to conveniently stream MP3s or High Definition quality video, play online
games, access networked storage, use Internet telephony, or just surf the web anywhere in
your home. RangeMax 240 Wireless Adapters are optimized for use with the RangeMax 240
Wireless Router, so that everyone enjoys ultimate speed and coverage everywhere in your
house—with virtually no dropouts or dead spots. With RangeMax 240, wireless is finally
as fast as wired.
Using multiple streams of data that dynamically adapt to interference, RangeMax 240 Wireless
technology boosts your network coverage area by up to ten times that of standard wireless routers.
It also maintains connection speeds up to fourteen times faster than a legacy wireless g router at the
edge of its range.
