The Amped Wireless Difference
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
* Range specifications are based on performance test results. Actual performance may vary due to differences in operating environments, building materials and wireless obstructions. Performance may increase or decrease over the stated specification. Wireless coverage claims are used only as a reference and are not guaranteed as each wireless network is uniquely different. Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE 802.11 standard specifications. Actual data throughput may vary as a result of network conditions and environmental factors. N600 wireless signal speeds achieved when connecting to other N600 or later 802.11n/ac devices. Output power and antenna gain ratings are based on 2.4GHz operating modes. 5.0GHz output power and antenna gain will be lower due to regulations.
