As home networking continues to spread and evolve at rapid speed, some users find that their wireless coverage from their router does not reach all corners or their home, or that they would like to have their wireless Internet access available at a location of their choosing, rather than be tethered to the point where the Internet enters their home. Other users would rather have a wireless network where no product is on the floor, and no cables are visible at all. The WGXB102 addresses these needs.
It consists of an XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge and a WGX102 54 Mbps Wireless Range Extender. The XE102 connects to your existing home router, while the WGX102 can then be plugged into any existing electrical outlet, and create an area of wireless access. Now, users can have wireless access at any point in their home, whether the pool house, patio, or upstairs bedroom.
- Allow your wireless Internet Access to be available from any chosen point in your home
- Easily move this network around your house as your needs require, without running any unsightly Ethernet cables across your home
- The Range Extender can work straight out of the box as plug-and-play
- Wall-Plugged form factor, so no floor or desk space is required, and no visible cables
- Ability to have wireless Internet access originate from any power outlet in the home, whether the middle of the home or the furthest extremity
Question from Peter Warmington-Gardner: Asked on 13/07/2009 Does this product require a dedicated electric socket to lessen interference please, or can it be plugged into a multi socket extension?
