Wireless Connectivity - Range Matters
Staying wirelessly connected in your home or office can be tricky, especially as your environment continually changes. For example someone with a cordless phone might walk between your primary wireless signal and your computer or a microwave oven might click on. This interference can cause a drop in wireless data speed or drop out altogether.

The WPN824 RangeMax™ Wireless Router adjusts to interference and the physical barriers in your home to deliver up to 500,000 square feet of coverage. This means that with a WPN511 Wireless Laptop Card inserted into the PCMCIA slot, your notebook/laptop will not be prone to loss of wireless speed or dropouts - ensuring continual high speed Internet and network access anywhere in your home or office.

New Technology - Smart MIMO
RangeMax™ is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-in, Multi-Out*) technology that uses seven internal antennas. The RangeMax™ WPN824 wireless router constantly surveys your home or office environment for physical barriers and interference: The RangeMax™ router adapts on the fly, adjusting the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers.

For example if you are sitting in your kitchen using your laptop with a WPN111 inserted, your partner turning on the microwave will not disrupt your wireless coverage, because the WPN824 will adapt to the change, using a different antenna configuration to strengthen the signal.

Security
By easily setting up WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) security on your WPN824 router and WPN511 Wireless Laptop PC Card your laptop will be well protected. These security features and the Firewall built into the WPN824 router add powerful safeguards against unauthorised usage.

Easy Set-up
NETGEAR's Smart Wizard™ makes the set-up of the RangeMax™ Wireless Laptop PC Card easy and hassle-free.
