1 - INTRODUCTION
The Luxul Wireless Pro-WAV Wi-Fi Range Extender System is designed to complement and
enhance the performance of the Netgear WG103 Wireless Access Point (WAP). When com-
bined with the WG103 and X-WAV XW-24-FP7 Flat Panel Antenna, it delivers up to the maximum
approved transmit power, resulting in a farther reaching and higher performing network.
Luxul Wireless Pro-WAV Wi-Fi Range Extender System feature patented RF technology that
dynamically optimizes output strength and provides the cleanest, most consistent signal
amplification available for Wi-Fi networks. Designed for bidirectional signal amplification,
Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Boosters utilize patented Digital Automatic Gain Control (D-AGC) tech-
nology that actively monitors the incoming signal from each packet and makes adjustments so
that the output signal maintains constant power levels, ensuring the cleanest and most consistent
RF signal possible.

1.3 SITE PREPARATION
• Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine
specific equipment placement, power drops, and so on.
• Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.
• Identify and document where all installed components are located.
• Provide a sufficient number of power drops for your equipment.
• Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment.
• Identify and prepare Ethernet and console port connections.
• Verify that cable lengths are within the maximum allowable distances
for optimal and certified signal transmission.
1.4 PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
CAUTION: Operation of the signal booster without regulatory approval is illegal
The Luxul Wireless Pro-WAV Wi-Fi Range Extender System is required to be professionally
installed. The following components are approved for use in the system.
• Luxul PW-FC2 Wi-Fi Signal Booster
