Product Features
Technical Overview
The 142ACM employs MIMO technology to enhance signal reliability and throughput across both frequency bands. This technology improves wireless performance in congested environments by using multiple antennas for better data transmission and reception.
Security features include comprehensive encryption with AES, WPA2, and WPA3 standards, ensuring protected data transmission across your extended network. The unit's 8.50 W power consumption reflects energy-efficient operation suitable for continuous outdoor use.
The extender's dual band capability allows it to operate on 2.40 GHz for better range and wall penetration, and 5 GHz for faster speeds with reduced interference. This flexibility helps optimize network performance based on device compatibility and environmental conditions.
With no Ethernet ports, the 142ACM functions purely as a wireless range extender, making it compatible with most Wi-Fi networks without requiring wired connections. Its plug-in design draws power directly from standard electrical outlets, supporting easy placement wherever coverage is needed.
