Dual Radio Wireless Repeater
The Hi-Gain
™
Wireless-N Dual Radio Smart Repeater is an advanced Wi-Fi connectivity solution that receives the signal of any
802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi network and rebroadcasts it locally within your home or office. The HW2R1 is the flagship product for
Hawking’s award-winning line of Hi-Gain Wi-Fi Range Extending products. Using two isolated Wi-Fi radios, the HW2R1 connects
to your desired wireless Internet connection, such as a local Wi-Fi hot spot, neighborhood wireless network or office network and
repeats the signal via a dedicated 300Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi radio locally. The HW2R1 has 3 Hi-Gain 3dbi omni-directional antennas
(1 dedicated for receiving wireless signals and 2 dedicated for rebroadcasting wireless signals within your home or office). The
HW2R1 is ideal for Wi-Fi connections to marine docks, RV parks, adjacent offices and homes with Wi-Fi networks or any other
source for wireless internet connection. In addition, the HW2R1 provides security and functionality via a full featured firewall and
router. The versatility of the Hi-Gain Smart Repeater makes it the perfect solution for any wireless application.

Repeater Support Utility is a powerful
tool for administrators to configure and
troubleshoot wireless connections
for multiple Smart Repeaters. The
Support Utility allows administrators to
upgrade firmware, reset devices to
factory settings, adjust IP settings, scan
and connect to wireless Internet
networks and view current system settings. The Utility uses a proprietary
communication protocol to connect to the Smart Repeater without having to
know the correct IP settings.
