Broadband Internet Speed test

NetGear announced yesterday the release of a new wireless router, a notebook adapter and a USB 2.0 adapter, making up the RangeMax 240 family.

The RangeMax 240 is built with Airgo Networks’ third generation faster-than-ethernet MIMO wireless chips, promising real-world throughput of 115 Mbps, or faster than wired Ethernet.

The WAP (initially priced at $199 for the US market) and the notebook adapter ($129) will be in stores in time for the holidays, the USB adapter to follow in early 2006.

Exciting to see wireless technology playing catchup with its wired equivalent. I can’t wait till we see Gigabit wireless!
