ASUS introduces the 240 MIMO Series

With its high-speed 240Mbps data transfer rate, the multi-transmitting 240 MIMO series excels with an actual throughput of up to 100Mbps, and covers eight times the range of standard 802.11g WLAN devices. True wireless multimedia experiences in homes, small businesses, and retail stores without any dead spots is now possible by taking advantage of multipath propagation in the Multiple Input Multiple Output technology - MIMO.

MIMO technology leverages multi-path signaling to significantly improve overall throughput, coverage and reliability. The WL-566gM and WL-106gM incorporate this innovation and make a true wireless environment a reality at enterprises, home offices, retail stores and homes, with coverage range that extends eight times that of the existing 802.11g WLAN solutions, eliminating dead spots, cables, and the cost of additional router configurations.

8 Times the Speed of Existing IEEE 802.11g Units

By transmitting multiple signals containing different information streams over the same frequency channel, MIMO provides a means of doubling or tripling spectral efficiency. With a data rate of 240Mbps and actual throughput of up to 100Mbps, the 240 MIMO series operates at "Super Speed," - two times the speed of standard MIMO devices, and eight times the speed of 802.11g. This makes extending applications possible in the areas of HD video streaming, multiple online gaming, MP3 and movie downloads. Large file sharing can be accomplished in a few seconds.

EZSetup at Press of a Button

Both the WL-566gM and WL-106gM utilize the ASUS EZSetup Wizard, which allows for effortless setup in just 2 easy steps. Wireless devices and security features are detected and automatically implemented at the press of the button.
Data Security with Wi-Fi Protected Access2

The WL-566gM router employs WPA2, which is based on the IEEE 802.11i standard, ensuring all data and access to the network is restricted to authorized users only. Coupled with an SPI firewall, the router provides an advanced encryption mechanism and security without the sacrifice of physical distance.
