What is Netgears XR Technology?
Netgear’s XR (Extended Range) technology doesn’t actually boost the signal as the name might indicate. What it does is allow reliable connections at weaker signals by trading distance for throughput. In other words, as the distance increases (or signal strength decreases) it steps the speed back rather than just dropping out. It works very well and is available on most Netgear 108mbs products including WGT624, WGT634U, WGU624, WG111T, WG311T, WG511T, WG511U, WAG311 & WAG511.

Note: To allow XR to work, you must choose an auto Wireless mode and not “108mb only” or “11mb only”.
