WGX102
54 Mbps Wall-Plugged
Wireless Range Extender
Receive Wireless Internet Access from any Power Outlet in Your Home
As home networking continues to spread and evolve at rapid speed, some users find that their
wireless router does not reach all corners or their home, or that they would like to have their
wireless network originate from a point of their choosing, rather than be tethered to the point
where the Internet enters their home. Other users would rather have a wireless network
where no product is on the floor, and no cables are visible at all.
The WGX102 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender allows users to have their
wireless network originate form the middle of their home, or from the furthest extremity,
with no visible cables. The WGX102 can be plugged into any electrical outlet to create an
area of wireless access. The XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge connects to an existing
wired or wireless router from any vendor. The XE102 is sold separately.
Plug the WGX102 Wireless Range-Extender into any power outlet to receive wireless access at the
desired location that you choose.
The new wall-plugged form factor allows users a full wireless network without occupying any floor
or desk space, or any visible cables. The sleek platinum casing blends well into any home décor.
