The Router Limits
Yes, Virginia, you could buy the Netgear RangeMax Wireless 802.11g Router for its RangeMax Smart MIMO technology. You could buy it because it’s super-duper secure. (You always were a touch on the paranoid side.) Shoot, you could buy it because you’ve just redone your home office in an all-white scheme, and the Netgear RangeMax Wireless 802.11g Router matches.
We don’t care. Our profit is the same whether our customers need video-quality speeds throughout their homes—or just any old piece of hardware to keep on their desks so they’ve got something to smash into pieces when they get frustrated with technology.
(Special note to frustrated smashers: Have you considered a Compaq DC5750 Desktop Computer? Much more satisfying to demolish! Use a claw hammer. Also, seek anger management therapy.)
So if you’re a cool, calculating, rational type, we recommend this router to improve the performance of your legacy 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices. But if you’re an off-the-rocker nutjob—and we know a few of you are—we recommend this router on the basis that a certain percentage of users will find it makes them irresistible to French supermodel Laetitia Casta.
It’s all the same to us. Money from crazies pays our bills the same as money from the rest of yez.
