The company introduces the new device at CES 2012 and claims that it will help extend the range of your wireless network within minutes.
According to TrendNet, all you have to do is place the TEW-736RE in an area of low wireless coverage, then simply press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on your router or access point, then on the TEW-736RE and you're done: the TEW-736RE is now extending your wireless network to the area with previously low to no wireless coverage. This of course only works if your current router or access point support WPS, which most of them do.
TrendNet says the 300Mbps Easy-N Range Extender supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology and Wireless N with speed up to 300Mbps. However, the network speed is also limited by that of your existing wireless router or access point. It's better to use the extender in a network of the same standard.
Apart from th wireless network, the extender also comes with one Ethernet port to host another wired client. The device also features LED displays that show its working status for easy troubleshooting.
The new 300Mbps Easy-N Range Extender, model TEW-736RE, comes with a three year limited warranty and will be available for purchase in February with the estimated price of $60.
