Buffalo Technology (USA), Inc. is a leading global provider of affordable, easy-to-use, next-generation wired and wireless network solutions for the consumer, SOHO and SMB markets. With its expansion into the U.S. retail market, Buffalo offers home users a full suite of wireless home networking solutions such as its award-winning line of AirStation 54g products; its 125* High-Speed Mode™ 802.11g products; and its versatile line of 802.11a/b/g combo products. Buffalo completes its offerings with additional world-class networking solutions that include memory, storage and multimedia products – perfectly suited for any wireless environment.

*This product uses a two antenna/single high power transmitter technology. It is not designed to anticipated 802.11n standards. Based on Buffalo Technology outdoor tests (see accompanying chart), this product outperforms two radio/three antenna MIMO technology beyond certain distances. Buffalo Technology testing also shows that this product equals or exceeds the performance of two radio/two antenna MIMO technology at all distances. When operating in High-Speed Mode, this Wi-Fi device achieves an actual throughput of up to 34.1 Mbps, which is the equivalent throughput of a system following 802.11g protocol and operating at a signaling rate of 125 Mbps. Actual data rate, features and performance may vary depending on your computer system, the environment and other factors.
