CES 2012: NETGEAR launches Universal Dual-Band WiFi Range Extender to maximize wireless coverage


By Telecom Lead Team: NETGEAR announced the launch of the
Universal Dual-Band WiFi Range Extender (WN2500RP). The WN2500RP is
designed to extend the wireless range and optimize performance of home network.


NETGEAR’s Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender extends
the coverage of both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi signals from an existing
wireless router or gateway. It is expected to provide consumers with the
convenience of a flexible and improved WiFi connection.


The WN2500RP offers simultaneous dual-band WiFi which
runs both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands concurrently, doubling WiFi bandwidth and
reducing WiFi interference. NETGEAR’s FastLane Technology for range extenders
enable consumers to opt for using a performance optimized operating mode for HD
video streaming and online gaming. The Dual Band WiFi Range Extender supports
up to four wired to WiFi connections, turning any Ethernet-enabled
entertainment or computing device into a WiFi-enabled device.


“With the proliferation of connected devices in the
home, consumers today increasingly rely on the strength and stability of their
home wireless network. NETGEAR’s new WiFi range extenders make it easier for
consumers to improve their overall wireless experience by getting the most out
of their existing wireless network,” said Damir Skripic, product line
manager for connected entertainment at NETGEAR.


NETGEAR’s Universal Dual Band WiFi Range Extender is easy
to install and set up with no need for a CD or Ethernet cable.
