each other, so the router can directly beam the WiFi signal to the device. Boosting speed, reliability, and range for both Implicit and
Explicit 2.4 & 5GHz WiFi devices, the result is a stronger, faster, more reliable connection that is locked in even when the device is
moved around the home.
• WiFi Signal Focus—Focuses signals from the wireless router to WiFi devices like smartphones, tablets & laptops
