Max Ranger
Quick Start Guide
Figure 2 – Max Ranger LEDs
Introduction
The Max Ranger is an antenna with an integrated bidirectional amplifier used to extend the indoor range of
802.11b Wireless LAN cards. The Max Ranger is
designed to be used with the Agere-based PCMCIA
WLAN cards provided by YDI Wireless which can be
inserted into any suitable device such as an Access
Point, YDI Ethernet Converter (EC), or even a laptop
computer. It is easy to install and ready to work “right
out of the box”. The internal antenna is horizontally
polarized for optimum RF connection to other WLAN
cards which typically are also horizontally polarized. It
features over 300 mW (+25 dBm) of transmit power
(EIRP). It is FCC Part 15 Certified for license-free
operation with all of our WLAN cards, and is capable to
work in a temperature range from 0°C to +50°C.
