Eliminate Coldspots with HyperGTM Technology

2Wire's high-powered wireless technology virtually eliminates wireless 'coldspots' in the home. HomePortal provides up to seven times the true power of traditional access points and increases wireless bandwidth by using a high power 400mW transmitter*. Most wireless access points provide less than 100mW.

2Wire's HyperG technology provides all its benefits using a standards-based, interoperable design. Performance of your existing wireless 802.11b and 802.11g adapters will improve with a HyperG-enabled HomePortal. And if you add HyperG adapters to your computers, your wireless performance improves even more.

3 Are Better Than 2
2Wire's unique triple wireless antenna design extends wireless reach and boosts performance compared to typical 802.11 wireless designs which have only two antennas. HomePortal has a third antenna used only for transmitting packets. This means 2Wire's wireless gateways avoid the power loss associated with switching the antenna use back and forth, from transmit to receive.

Antenna placement is optimized with a dedicated set of receive-only antennas resulting in greater access point sensitivity and increased wireless throughput and range. Increased bandwidth throughout the home is critical for high-bandwidth, value added services such as digital media.
