2. Proper use

This device is designed to amplify the signal in a WLAN

network. In addition, the device can be used as an

access point for devices that communicate wirelessly

or as a client for connected devices which do not

have their own WLAN adapter. You can also use the

device as a router so that the WLAN Repeater directly

establishes a connection with the Internet and clients

can log into the router. Never use the device for any

other purpose. Only use the device indoors.

This device is only designed for private use and is not

suitable for commercial purposes.

NOTE!

If you have a DSL connection and want to

use the WLAN Repeater as a router, you will

also require a DSL modem that needs to be

connected to the WLAN Repeater.

stepped on or tripped over.

• To avoid damaging the cable, do not place

any objects on it.

• To avoid static charges, you should not

operate the device in extremely dry

conditions.

• In circumstances where there are

electrostatic discharges, the device could

malfunction. In this case, the device must

be reset to the factory settings.

6.2. Overview of the operating

modes

Operating

mode

Description

Router The WLAN Repeater is connected to

the Internet (e.g. using a modem) via

the WLAN/LAN port and other devices

(clients) can connect to the WLAN

Repeater via WLAN or the LAN port.

AP The WLAN Repeater is connected to

a router that does not have its own

WLAN interface via the WLAN/LAN

port so that devices can now connect

to the network router via the repeater

(Access Point).

Repeater The WLAN Repeater extends the range

of your wireless network. This will

reduce the data transmission rate of

the wireless network by half as the

repeater must also communicate with

the clients and the wireless access

point.

Operating

mode

Description

WISP The WLAN Repeater connects to a

Wireless Internet Service Provider

(WISP) and makes this Internet access

available via the LAN ports or the

extended wireless signal to clients

(e.g. printers, set-top boxes with a LAN

port) (client operation).
