* Maximum speeds quoted are the maximum speed that the hardware is capable of.  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.  There are too many variables that can affect the range.  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.
