1000% more coverage than 802.11g
As a 21st-century consumer, computers are an integral part of your life. But does your home computing environment work for you? Even if you already have a wireless network, you've probably found "dead spots" in your home where your Internet connection fades in and out, or drops off completely.
Now, say good-bye to those dead spots … and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home! With the RangeMax Wireless Router, your whole house becomes a "hot spot." Netgear's exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless device on the market today - up to 10 times the wireless coverage of 802.11g. So you'll have a sizzling-fast, consistent connection in every room of your house … and beyond.
Power Under the Hood
RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! Everyone will enjoy consistently high-speed connections, everywhere in your house - no drop-outs, and no dead spots.

excellent value refurb for $20. Got working in 5 minutes without any documentation. Refurb deal ok, but you must find and download documentation from Netgear web site. Range must improved over an old -A -B wireless router.
Great Product

Purchased 2 of these routers for residential set up. The first router was easy to set up, but for some reason I wasnt able to connecct my PS3 wirelessly. Swapped out the router with the second router I purchased and was successfully able to connect my PS3 wirelessly. The other router is being used at another location for wireless internet access only so it wasnt a huge deal that I wasnt able to connect this router to my PS3. Other than that no problem great range and man are these reliable for re certified routers.
Great deal for a home wireless router
