3 Description of the product
Depending on the type of product selected either a MAXWIFI 3 KIT or a MAXWIFI unit when
you open the box for the first time, you will find the following items: The MAXWIFI equipment
can be configured as a router or wireless access point. It has an 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac
wireless connection with dual band support at 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. It also has two 1Gbit
Ethernet connections. The first is the WAN connection and the other is the LAN connection
that you can use to connect a computer via cat6 cable.
The MAXWIFI3 kit consists of 3 MAXWIFI devices already configured at the factory. The
Controller device that acts as a router and network controller and two satellite or Agents
devices are repeaters in the wireless network. Only need place the devices in their locations,
connect the Controller to your operator router via LAN cable as described below and turn on
the devices. Is possible add more devices in your installation with additional MAXWIFI
equipment to cover all the rooms in your home or offices.
MAXWIFI equipment will create a new wireless network in your facility. Unlike classic wireless
repeaters, MAXWIFI equipment supports EASY MESH, which will allow you to create a single
wireless network with a single SSID (network identifier), for all MAXWIFI equipment installed.
In addition, the nodes of the MESH network interact with other nodes to manage the network
redirecting the traffic according to the needs of each moment and improving the performance
of the entire network.

4 Example of Installation
In the following example, we see a home with a MAXWIFI3 Kit installed. The kit is made up of
three MAXWIFI devices. One device is configured as a controller that will connect to the
operator's router to obtain the internet connection. The controller node allows you to configure
the entire wireless network and information of the network identifier (SSID) and passwords.
The two devices configured as Agent are repeaters of the signal.
Placing correctly theses equipment, we will have wireless coverage throughout the house for
the different wireless equipment, without a problem of signal loss. All configured MAXWIFI
devices create a single network. If a user moves around the house, their wireless device will
connect to the MAXWIFI node that automatically provides the best quality signal.
