Product Features
Technical Overview
The RE450 leverages advanced wireless technology to deliver robust and stable network extension. It supports dual-band operation with 2.4 GHz offering up to 450 Mbps and 5 GHz delivering up to 1300 Mbps, optimizing performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. Data encryption is comprehensive, supporting 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK standards to secure your network against unauthorized access.
Ethernet connectivity is handled through a single Gigabit Ethernet port that supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet technologies. This port enables high-speed wired connections without sacrificing wireless performance. The extender does not feature PoE, VGA, HDMI, powerline, or management ports, focusing solely on its core range extension functionality.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Frequency Band, Total Number of Antennas, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
