\"\"<\/a>
\nSydney, Australia, October 22, 2012 \u2013<\/strong> WD<\/a>\u00ae, a subsidiary of Western Digital Corporation and a world leader in external storage<\/a> and solutions for today\u2019s connected life, unveils its My Net\u2122 Wi-Fi\u2122 Range Extender to expand wireless home networks into out-of-reach areas of the home. Following the introduction of its first line of wireless home networking products, the acclaimed My Net family of HD dual-band routers<\/a>, the selectable dual-band My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender provides faster, stronger and more reliable wireless network coverage to computers, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, media players, smart TVs and other Wi-Fi connected devices that suffer from a weak Wi-Fi signal within the home.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s home is filled with multiple Wi-Fi connected devices simultaneously streaming movies, music and TV shows on services such as Netflix\u2122, Hulu Plus\u2122, VUDU\u00ae and others,\u201d explains Scott Vouri, general manager for WD’s connected life solutions group. \u201cThe My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender provides faster speeds at greater distances, enabling HD streaming to the outermost areas of the home.\u201d<\/p>\n

My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender\u2019s power comes from its 3×3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna array design, versus the 2×2 design used by most competitive products. This design enables customers to significantly extend the Wi-Fi signal from their existing routers or gateways, letting them enjoy HD streaming movies, online gaming and video calls in remote areas of the home with the fastest wireless-N speeds possible. The range extender also features a Gigabit Ethernet port, providing a high-speed Internet connection for distant, wired-only entertainment devices.<\/p>\n

Setup of the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender is a simple two step process, with no installation CD or software needed. Customers can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect the range extender to their existing home network with a push of a button. Then they can use the convenient Wi-Fi signal strength indicator lights on the front of the range extender to find the optimal signal-boosting location in their home. Once all the indicator lights are lit, the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender is in the best location to provide maximum performance. The My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender is compatible with all Wi-Fi certified routers and gateways, as well as all wireless Wi-Fi standards, from 802.11a to 802.11ac.<\/p>\n
