Product Overvew
Thank you for choosing the RangePlus Wireless Notebook
Adapter. The RangePlus Wireless Notebook Adapter uses
the very latest wireless networking technology to achieve
extended range. Unlike ordinary wireless networking
technologies that are confused by signal reflections,
MIMO 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. And
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 use RangePlus technology, the throughput can be
increased even more by using twice as much radio band.
Once you’re connected, you can keep in touch with your
e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other
resources such as printers and network storage with other
computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home,
you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat
with friends while sitting out on the patio. You’ll also be
able to connect with any of the growing number of public
hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges,
hotels and convention centers. Your wireless connection
is protected by industrial-strength WPA2 encryption. The
included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring
the adapter to your network’s settings, step by step.
