Introduction

The WFREPEAT300N 300Mbps Wireless-N WiFi Access Point and Repeater has two selectable modes for extending the range of existing wireless networks or adding wireless capabilities to a non-wireless network. Using a wall plug design, this allows for convenient or hidden placement anywhere there is an available AC outlet. As a wireless repeater, the effective range of any 802.11n WiFi network can be increased, while still providing up to 300Mbps of data bandwidth. This WiFi signal booster can help eliminate dead spots and provide a stronger signal in areas with obstructions that can reduce the range of a wireless signal. The WiFi range extender is also backward compatible with 802.11b/802.11g networks. As a wireless access point (AP), any non-wireless router can be given wireless-N capabilities. Built in wireless security (WEP/WPA/WPA2) will help to keep the network private. Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
