BearExtender's 0.7 Watt (700 milliwatt) maximum power Wi-Fi radio is over 10 times as powerful as the internal AirPort card that shipped in your Mac (32mW)
AirPort Extreme Card Maximum Power Output/BearExender n3 Maximum Power Output:
32 mW/700 mW
BearExtender n3 is named after its original goal of helping students at the University of California, Berkeley connect to their wireless network called AirBears.
BearExtender n3 contains a high power Wi-Fi radio, with a maximum of 700mW output power. That is about ten times more powerful than the Apple branded AirPort card included in your Mac. Combined with an external 2 dBi gain antenna, BearExtender n3 offers up to 2-4 times the range of your current wireless card (approximately 2X for AirPort Extreme and 4X for the original AirPort 11 mbps card).
BearExtender n3 is a standalone Wi-Fi adapter and can be used with any Macintosh computer, including those that do not have built-in AirPort cards such as older G3 towers, iMacs and PowerMacs.
BearExtender n3 includes a small application that works very similar to the Apple AirPort software which allows you to scan for networks, add favorites, and connect.

802.11n functionality
BearExtender n3 is a great way to add 802.11n wireless networking capability to your older Mac, while extending range! 802.11n offers higher transmission speeds and greater range over 802.11g and 802.11b networks (BearExtender n3 is compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b networks, but to take advantage of the BearExtender n3's 802.11n capability, you must use the device with an 802.11n standard router or access point) .

Range depends on a number of factors, including interference (both visible and invisible), the type of wireless network you are connecting to. Because BearExtender n3 uses a 0.7 watt Wi-Fi radio, we are confident that you will be able to see wireless networks which you previously were unable to see, and connect to many existing networks with more bars.
