Introduction
The wireless AC Range Extender is mainly used for providing free i-Fi service
in big areas such as factories, community buildings, streets, homes etc.
The AC range can take an existing 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless signal, repeat and
extend it to a longer range to a location that is too far away for a router or
access point to reach. The AP/Router simultaneously supports 2.4G and 5G
wireless network connections, and it can support 2.4G and 5G transmission
speeds of up to 733Mbps. It has 3 x internal antennas providing even better
wireless performance and transmission rates. Stability technology automatically
avoids channel conflicts using its channel selection feature.

Getting Started
Setting Up ireless Infrastructure Network
Fore a typical wireless setup at home, please do the following:
ireless AP Mode
The AP/Router is connected to a wired network,
then transforms the wired Internet access into
wireless so that multiple devices can share the
Internet.
This mode is fit for offices, homes and other
locations where only wired networks are currently
available.
ireless Repeater Mode
The AP/Router copies and reinforces the existing
wireless signal to extend the coverage of the signal.
Don't change the network name (SSID) and
password yet. This mode is especially useful for
covering a large space to eliminate signal-blind
corners, especially useful for large homes or
warehouses.
Router Mode
The AP/Router is connected to a DSL or cable
modem and works as a regular wireless router.
This mode is suitable for environments in which
Internet access from the DSL or cable modem is
available for one user, however more users need
access to the internet connection.
