Its BroadRange and Afterburner technologies provide faster data-transfer speeds than standard 802.11g with improved range as well. The result is better wireless coverage for your home or office.
Other handy features include Download Master, giving you the ability to download HTTP, FTP and BT (BitTorrent) files automatically from the Internet even without computer connection and connect and share multiple USB peripherals like printers and external hard drives with computers across your network.
There's also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch for wired connections to your network.
