The BearExtender 1200 is a 1200mA receiver for those using 2.4GHz 802.11N wifi, offering an increase of up to 70-percent in the power department over the original model released by BearExtender, which you can see in the graph below. Another change over the original model is the inclusion of a 5 dBi antenna and a high-sensitivity receiver. The BearExtender Turbo, meanwhile, is the 802.11AC offering, with the company boasting a max throughput speed about 3x faster than what you get from an 802.11n Mac at 867Mbps. This model offers USB 3.0 connectivity, is compatible with OS X Mavericks, and features dual antennas that can be upgraded if desired. Said BearExtender’s head of Product Development Roland Saekow: “BearExtender Turbo is a dual band (2.4 & 5 GHz) 802.11ac receiver with a focus on throughput speed. Our purpose in keeping BearExtender 1200 on the 2.4 GHz 802.11n band is to achieve the longest possible range on the most commonly used Wi-Fi band today while with BearExtender Turbo we are focused on offering extreme 802.11ac speeds to any Mac owner looking to upgrade.” The 1200 model is available for pre-order as of today for $49.97, and will ship out to buyers on August 5. The release date will follow for Canadian and European buyers later this month.

BearExtender has extended its line of USB Wi-Fi devices by shipping an adapter that can add 802.11ac connectivity to older Mac desktops and notebooks with slower wireless network connections. Connecting over USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, the BearExtender Turbo is said to be able to offer up to three times. BearExtender Turbo is compatible with any 802.11ac router or network and will also connect to all Wi-Fi networks including 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. BearExtender Turbo connects to your Mac using a high speed USB 3.0 interface.
