SET-UP

Preparing the WLAN repeater

Remove packaging material and all protective foil.

Contents of box
WARNING!
Keep plastic foil and bags away from babies and
small children as danger of suffocation.

The WLAN repeater operates in dual band mode. This

means that both 2.4G- and 5G-WLAN signals can be sent
at the same time. For each of these WLAN standards an
individual WLAN network with a SSID (network recognition) is transmitted by the repeater, depending on the
operating mode.
The WLAN repeater can repeat amplified networks of the
WLAN router as 2.4G or also as 5G-WLAN network. The
WLAN standard used by the WLAN router is immaterial.

Operation in repeater mode

Note!
Danger of damage!
If the packaging is carelessly opened with a
sharp knife or other pointed objects, the WLAN
repeater can be easily damaged. --Please open
packaging carefully.
1. Check that delivery is complete (see Fig. A).
2. Remove WLAN repeater from packaging and check
whether the equipment or parts are damaged. If yes,
do not use the device. Contact the service address of
the manufacturer listed on the Warranty card.

The WLAN router transmits a 2.4G or a 5G WLAN network.

The WLAN repeater amplifies this network signal and provides it as a 2.4G-WLAN network and a 5G-WLAN network.
Use the repeater mode to use the WLAN repeater to
extend the range of your wireless radio network. This
halves the data transmission rate of the radio network,
as the repeater communicates with the Client and the
Wireless Access Point
1. Set the mode selection switch to repeater.
2. Connect the repeater to an easily accessible mains
socket.
3. Switch on repeater using the ON/OFF switch. The
