Wi-Fire

Posted on July 30th, 2009 by admin

Wi-Fire is the little WiFi range extender which lets you stay up to 1,000 feet away from the WiFi source, so you can tap into a remote WiFi for free Internet connection. Now the Wi-Fire has stepped into its 3rd generation, which promises a much smaller form factor.

The 3rd generation of the Wi-Fire is claimed to be 40 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter than its predecessor. And it also supports the Linux and OS-X operating systems. But unfortunately, the new Wi-Fire is still a 802.11b/g device, and lacks the support of the wireless N (802.11n).

The 3rd-gen Wi-Fire is also very light, weighs 2.8 oz, can be clipped on one’s notebook screen and it costs $59 only.
