Netgear Boost Wireless Coverage In Home Networks  Netgear has launched a home network wireless extender kit that uses power outlets to push coverage to any part of the house.  Dubbed the WGXB102 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender Kit, it includes two pieces, a range extender and an Ethernet bridge, both which plug into outlets. The bridge links the current home networking router with the home's power line system, while the extender plugs into the outlet at the other end to expand wireless access into house "dead spots." The kit works with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless routers, as well as wired routers, said Netgear. 7:38:42 PM    comment []
