New customers of Orange’s home broadband services will be receiving wireless routers supplied by technology company Bright Box from today Wednesday 25 January 2012. The routers are designed to boost signal strength and connection speed and Orange will be supplying them to home broadband customers free of charge.

Normally costing £95, the Bright Box routers will give customers a wireless signal that will have a range of 250 metres as soon as it is set up. Boasting two antennas and Bright Box’s ‘N’ technology that helps lessen the effect of interference from other electrical appliances. To ensure the connection is secure, the routers, which are roughly the size of a paperback novel, feature WPA2 encryption technologies and a selection of SSID network IDs, each with a different password.

With an abundance of electrical appliances in homes these days, wireless broadband signal can sometimes get lost amongst digital television and mobile phone signals. The technology Birght Box provides ensures that the wireless signal is consistant and strong enough for multiple machines to connect to it and run online tasks simultaneously by moving the broadband signal to an available fequency that is the least affected by interference.

Sylvain Thevenot, director of marketing and propositions for Orange Broadband said: “We’re constantly looking to evolve our home broadband offering to ensure our customers enjoy the best possible experience across multiple devices in the home – including smart phones using Wi-Fi. With this in mind, we’re pleased to be introducing the Bright Box, our most powerful wireless router to date – providing yet another reason why with Orange, you really do get the best value home broadband in the market.”
