Make sure you check periodically for Firmware updates. (I believe there is already an update for yours.)

If you already have the original WiFi Ranger, doing the firmware update before tomorrow (March 4th) will turn it into a WiFi Ranger Pro. The way you can tell it worked is the WiFi Boost & Advanced panels will become available in the Control Panel.

I think if you order before 3-4-11 you get the Pro verison, I would give them a call.

Anyone know if they are getting ready to release a new model, that might be worth waiting for? Does it come with a wall-wart? (I know the 12v power cord is an option), and does the W.R. overheat, if left plugged in?

It's the first hit in Google when entered as "wifi ranger". The company's web site is WiFiRanger - Intelligent Mobile Router.
