Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, we have the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There is 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.

Access Point built into the router uses the wireless technology of last generation Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). With the mapping of multiple radio signals, Wireless-N "Some, some Out" (MIMO) multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. Strong signals travel long distances, maintaining wireless connections significantly farther than the standard Wireless-G.

Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the faster you get. It works well with common G and Wireless-B, but when both ends of wireless link Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice radio band, yielding speeds much faster common than Wireless-G But unlike other technologies designed to increase the speed of Wireless-N can dynamically enable double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting with others other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the "good neighbor" mode ensures that the router verify other wireless devices in place before devouring radio.
