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.

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.
