In addition they are adherent to the latest in security protection backward compatible with previous generations of Wi-Fi products.

A higher bandwidth and speed of 11n ensure a stable connection that allows users to run multiple applications on a single network, without any interruptions or connection drops. In addition, so called “dead spots” in the wireless range are eliminated.

Edimax is the first vendor to supply detachable high-gain antennas with its 11n product line. In combination with the unique Edimax antenna relocation stand (EA-MARS), users can relocate the antennas according to their specific environment and enhance the wireless coverage even further.
