Traditional Range Extension Vs. Max-Stream Seamless Roaming

Traditional range extenders expand your network, but they create a host of other problems. Max-Stream™ Seamless Roaming works differently, delivering a more consistent signal. Take a look at how the two compare.

Range Extender

Often requires confusing multiple network names—one for your router and one for the repeated network.
Requires you to manually switch between your router and range extender’s networks, depending on your location in the house.
Can be difficult to place for optimal range, especially when competing signals and structural interference get in the way.
May call for a time-consuming setup, requiring all Wi-Fi devices to be connected to the extended network.
May not support MU-MIMO wireless technology, which is essential to stable streaming and gaming.
May cause dropped connections as you move throughout your home.

Max-Stream™ Seamless Roaming

Router and range extender share the same network name without causing performance issues.
With Max-Stream™ range extenders and routers, your device automatically switches to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, no matter where you are.
Includes the easy-to-use Spot Finder software, which pinpoints the ideal location for optimal signal strength and coverage.
With only one network name, you don’t need to connect each of your devices to the extended network after setup is complete.
Supports Next-Gen MU-MUMO technology to ensure buffer-free 4K streaming, as well as Beamforming and Cross Band technology.
Delivers a consistent connection as you move about your home, so you can FaceTime without glitches even as you transfer between networks.
