b) Operating Modes
The device supports the operating modes "Repeater" and "Access Point".
• The operating mode „Repeater" increases the range of a present WLAN network. Networks
with 2.4GHz and a data rate of up to 300MBit are supported.
When the repeater is confi gured and connected to your WLAN router, this will not generate a
new WLAN but only amplify the present one.
Therefore, it is not necessary to reconnect your computer to your router if it is already con-
nected. The repeater is automatically integrated into the network.
☞
Before you start confi guration, your WLAN router should be switched on and con-
nected to the internet.
It is also necessary that the WLAN of your router is already completely confi gured.
It is best to also observe the instructions of your router for this.
☞
Observe:
If you need to change something about your WLAN router's WLAN settings after
confi guration of the repeater, you need to reconfi gure the repeater. You may have
to reset it to factory settings for this.
The confi guration is performed via the WPS function or via the web interface. If you confi gure
the device via the web interface, you computer has to be connected via the LAN port.
Computers or other devices can be connected to the repeater via WLAN or via the network
connection.
• The operating mode „Access Point" generates a new WLAN access point with a freely selecta-
ble SSID (WLAN name) and dedicated encryption.
The device is connected to your router after confi guration with a 1:1-connected network cable.
Confi guration is performed the web interface. Your computer must be connected to the re-
peater's LAN port for confi guration.
Devices can be connected by WLAN only here after confi guration.
