*Maximum performance, actual data rates and coverage may vary depending on network conditions and environmental factors. Stated ranges are based on independent test results and are not guaranteed. Long range coverage requires an additional high power access point to receive the wireless signal from the EW-7303HPn V2 – coverage range from an EW-7303HPn directly to a computer/wireless device is significantly less.
