RangeMax™ 240 Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) Technology

NETGEAR's RangeMax 240 Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology provides ten times more coverage than standard 802.11g alone by eliminating "dead spots" in your area of coverage. Your whole house or office suite now becomes a "hot spot" without requiring any range extenders, repeaters, or external antennas. RangeMax maintains your high speed throughout your home, not just when you are close to your router.

RangeMax 240 is a TRUE MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology that uses three external antennas, capable of transmitting at speeds up to 240 Mbps. It can also transmit two different data streams on the same channel at the same time, at speeds up to 126 Mbps, if you use the WPNT511 or WPNT121 Wireless Adapters.

In "Up to 240 Mbps" mode the router uses channel expansion to achieve a data rate of 240 Mbps. The channel expansion uses the channel selected as the primary channel and expands to a secondary channel (primary channel + 4 or - 4) to achieve a frame-by-frame bandwidth of 40 MHz. The WPNT834 router detects channel usage and, if necessary, will disable frame-by-frame expansion to avoid interference with the data transmission from other access points or clients.

RangeMax 240 is also 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products (i.e., 802.11b, 802.11g, and Centrino wireless clients) and boosts their range and speed by up to 50%.
