But what does all of this mean?
Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer
from different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive.
Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks are not only
useful in homes and offices, via the fast wireless network speed up to 300Mbps, you can
be very comfortable to have experience of high speed web surfing, files downloading, on
line game playing, and video conference session and streaming high quality multimedia
materials. The Wireless-N Extender provides WPA/WPA2, 64/128 bits WEP REBOOTion
and IEEE802.1x which ensures a high level of security to protect user’s data and privacy
when you are using Wi-Fi connection.
The Powerline Wireless-N Extender follows the HomePlug PowerLine network standard.
Just plug the Powerline Wireless-N Extender into the wall, and connect your devices by
Ethernet or Wi-Fi technology to the Extender, and you’ve turned your whole house into a
network infrastructure. Attach more computers/devices to your home network by simply
connecting them into the wall anywhere in the house, using more Powerline Wireless-N
Extender.
Once your computers are connected to the network, they can share resources like
printers and storage space, and all kinds of files: music, digital pictures, and documents.
With up to 500Mbps data rates, you can play head-to-head network computer games, too.
And if you use a Powerline Wireless-N Extender to interface Broadband Routers from
your cable or DSL Internet connection to your PowerLine network, you’ll be able to get to
the Internet from any computer in the house.
