If you're like me and just about had it with all the dead zones in your Wi-Fi network then you should definitely get excited about Amped Wireless' latest gadget, the SR600EX Pro Smart Repeater, which promises to increase your Wi-Fi coverage to even the most hard to reach places.

In order to achieve this feat, the SR600EX is fitted with a 600mW amplifier and a high-gain bi-directional antenna that together enable the repeater to span over 1.5 miles (2.4Km).

That's enough to create building-to-building connections and the SR600EX even comes fitted with a weatherproof enclosure, so it can be installed in outdoor environments.

In addition, Amped Wireless has also provided two extra network ports on its smart repeater so this can also be used for connecting wired devices, such as printers, to your network.

Interest in a price for this wireless cornucopia? Well, how does $180 (129 Euros) sounds to you? I would say is jut about right, provided it works as advertised.
