Each new generation of routers grows
more powerful than the last, delivering
stronger WiFi signals with greater range.
At the same time, the WiFi signals on
mobile devices are not getting more
powerful. This difference in WiFi
performance – a strong WiFi signal from
the router and weaker ones from mobile
devices – reduces overall WiFi range
and speed.
To meet this challenge, NETGEAR
developed the industry’s rst Active
Antennas technology. NETGEAR moved
the WiFi ampliers from their usual
location, on the router’s motherboard, up
to the top of the antennas.
Active antennas help improve WiFi
performance by amplifying signals in the
antenna itself. Thereby avoiding any signal
loss during transmission between antenna
and router board, as well as avoiding any
noise insertion from the router board
components. This provides cleaner and
stronger receive signals for amplication
from your mobile devices.
In the XR700, enhanced Active antennas
also amplify the signals as they are sent
to the devices thereby increasing overall
range and throughput.
Enhanced Active Antennas
Traditional WiFi router has harder time receiving weaker mobile device signals.
