Equipped with this company's Super-Fi technology, the secure 802.11g second-generation WiFi router has a built-in patch antenna, which allows users to focus signals directly toward a specific location. Depending on how the patch antenna is positioned, the unidirectional broadcast can eliminate outside access into a user's network, making it suitable for multistory homes or offices.

Along with its narrow-focused signaling, the Super-Fi technology delivers range-enhancing, wall-penetrating power. The router allows users to surf the Internet while relaxing in their yard or other locations around the house.

An additional flip-up omni antenna delivers 360-degree coverage and stores out of sight when not in use. The product is priced at $129.99 (MSRP) and is available immediately from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets.
