Product Description

The USRobotics Wireless MAXg Range Extender delivers a powerful wireless signal to areas beyond the reach of your MAXg Router or Access Point, without the need to run long lengths of CAT5 Ethernet cable. Essentially the Range Extender picks up faint wireless signals at the far reach of their range and boosts them, increasing network range and coverage. While MAXg Technology itself provides 50% greater range than standard 802.11g, the Range Extender assures coverage where you need it.

Beware.......2006-07-08

If your wireless router does not support WDS and evidentially most don't, this will not work with your router

I was a little worried when I bought this extender, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it set up and working. Installation is pretty straight forward and the best part is that it will work with non-USRobotics Access Points (like my Asus WL-500g Deluxe). Be aware that not all extenders (like the Linksys) will work with APs that aren't from the same manufacturer. I was having a problem getting signal to a new Squeeze box located on a different floor but adding this little box did the trick.

One note on the install: if your AP is set not to broadcast it's SSID (usually not set by default), you might have a problem finding it even if you enter its MAC address into the extender's configuration. I simply re-enabled the SSID broadcast, found the AP, configured the extender and then disabled SSID broadcast again.
