Great for bigger homes. Easy to use and setup; includes Mac setup wizard.

Wireless-N Power
The speed and bandwidth of Wireless-N, today’s most advanced wireless technology, makes it easy for multiple users to share Internet access, files and printing. Enjoy media-intensive activities like gaming, video and Voice-over-IP phone calls – all at once, with less lag and performance degradation.
