Enjoy High-Speed Wireless N Connectivit

The Cloud Router 1200 and Cloud Router 2000 establish a fast an
reliable wireless network for delivering broadband Internet to device
throughout the home. Wireless N technology extends coverage an
reduces dead spots and preserves compatibility with earlier wireless
networking standards. The router?s high-powered amplifier boosts
signal strength, while integrated intelligent antenna technology
transmits multiple streams of data by bouncing wireless signals off of
walls and sending a wireless connection to the farthest corners of a
home or office. As a dual-band wireless router, the Cloud Router 2000
uses the 5GHz frequency band to avoid interference with other nearby
wireless devices like cordless phones, microwave ovens and other
routers. The 5GHz band is used in tandem with the 2.4GHz band
delivering up to double the bandwidth of single-band wireless
solutions.

The Cloud Router 1200 and Cloud Router 2000 incorporate 4 Gigabit
Ethernet ports and feature an attractive cylindrical housing with a
minimal footprint suitable for installation on shelves, desks, and
tabletops for maximum range and flexibility. Both feature an
intelligent Quality of Service (QoS) engine that optimizes network
traffic on the fly for time-sensitive applications like Skype calls
and gaming.
