About the Device 

Diamond  Multimedia  WR300N  Portable  Wireless-N  Repeater  supports 

wireless 802.11b/g/n standards with one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. 

WR300N  is  designed  with  MIMO  technology  to  extend  the  reach  of 

any existing wireless router/AP to maximize the coverage in your home or 

office.  It  basically  receives  the  signal  from  your  wireless  router/AP  and 

repeats  it  to  extend  the  range  to  farther  locations  that  are  previously 

unreachable.  

Equipped with 64/128-bit WEP, WIFI Protected Access (WPA), and the 

latest WPA2 encryption with TKIP and AES algorithm to protect your wireless 

network from unauthorized access. MAC Address Filtering for wireless links 

provides an additional layer of security for your wireless network.  

The  device  comes  with  1  x  10/100M  Auto  MDI/MDIx  Ethernet  port 

that  can  be  used  to  connect  to  an  existing  wired  network  to  serve  as  a 

wireless  AP  or  wireless  bridge. It  can  also  be  used to  configure the device 

via  its  web-based  GUI,  or  upgrade  the  firmware  when  connected  to  the 

Network Interface Card of your PC.
