* Maximum speeds quoted are the maximum speed that the hardware is capable of. Â You will be limited to the maximum speed that the Internet connection is able to provide.
** Range figures are approximated and not guaranteed in all situations. Â There are too many variables that can affect the range. Â Maximum range requires a 100% clear line of sight with no obstructions to a strong WiFi source with an outdoor antenna. Neither system is suitable for picking up WiFi from inside a building from a mile away.
