New Bountiful Router Gets Rid Of Signal-Strength Issues
By Marc Spiwak, CRN

3:00 PM EDT Fri. Oct. 28, 2005 CRN Test Center engineers set up a sample router with no problems at all, and the unit has been working flawlessly for several weeks. Most wireless routers output a signal that’s about 100 milliwatts in strength, but the Bountiful Router outputs nearly 1,000 milliwatts, which is the most powerful output allowed under FCC regulations. The unit also produces a lot less noise in its output than typical wireless routers. The combination of high signal strength and low noise makes for a coverage area that’s two to four times larger than typical routers. On top of that, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) built into the router helps it receive signals from weak clients.... Click here to read more of CRN's review

In testing the Bountiful Router, we found a feature set similar to many other business-class Wi-Fi routers. But unlike other routers we've tested, the Bountiful Router's signal strength (and receiver sensitivity) expand the radius normally thought of for 802.11b/g service.Once installed, a very sensitive radio receiver matched the 1-watt output of the Bountiful Router (through its twin antennas). This means that the strong Wi-Fi signal that the unit generates can be "heard" for a long distance, and the Bountiful Router is still able to hear client signals from comparatively far distances. The added power of the router became very appealing before our radiological testing, and the sensitivity of the receiver means that our axial Wi-Fi range was mightily extended.

Whoa-Fi

If your wireless access point barely has enough power to cover a cramped city apartment, pump up the volume. This 802.11b and g router extends the range of most home networks with sheer brute force. It kicks out nearly 30 decibels of wireless signal (most routers stick to 15) with a full watt of power, pushing it to the FCC's upper limit for Wi-Fi gear. The increase hikes the theoretical range from 300 feet to nearly 1,200. Your hot spot just turned into a blast radius. Click here to see Wired Magazine's promotion of the Bountiful Router

Pump Up the Power Dept.: If you're looking for an unusual wireless gateway router, check out the Bountiful Router from Bountiful WiFi out of Woods Cross, Utah ( www.bountifulwifi.com ). Instead of the 100 milliwatt radio found in most 802.11 gateway routers, this sucker has a full 1-watt radio. This is the legal limit allowed by the FCC for any radio running 802.11. And apparently there are all sorts of other requirements on top of this. As far as I can tell, it took a lot of work just to get this torch approved by the government. This has got to be a fun device for 802.11 hobbyists who want to experiment with antennas and long-distance 802.11.
