Maximum Coverage & Bandwidth

To explain the capabilities of RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless N routers and adapters further: Imagine connecting to the Internet from anywhere in the house, without a cable. Then imagine everyone in the house connecting at the same time, and all doing things online or over the network - all at the same time: Watching a Hi-Definition video or TV programme in the living room, browsing the Internet in the study, playing online games in the den, downloading MP3 music from the dining room - all at the same time.
Rock Steady, Constant Connection
With the RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless N notebook adapter inserted, your laptop will maintain a steady, constant wireless connection (when used in conjunction with the WNR854T Wireless N Router, Gigabit Edition), with sufficient bandwidth available to stream, download, browse the Internet, and transfer files all at the same time.
With RangeMax™ NEXT and Wireless N your laptop should not experience any more frustrating interruptions or freezes, just a constant connection that enables you and your household to use the Internet and wireless network as you choose, whenever you choose.
Touchless Wireless Security
Touchless WiFi Security makes creating the highest level of network security easy and includes industry standard wireless encryption standards for you to choose from: WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. These security features enable you to 'lock-down' your home wireless network, protecting you against unwanted intruders.
