2. Proper use
This device is designed to amplify the signal in a WLAN
network. In addition, the device can be used as an
access point for devices that communicate wirelessly
or as a client for connected devices which do not
have their own WLAN adapter. You can also use the
device as a router so that the WLAN Repeater directly
establishes a connection with the Internet and clients
can log into the router. Never use the device for any
other purpose. Only use the device indoors.
This device is only designed for private use and is not
suitable for commercial purposes.
NOTE!
If you have a DSL connection and want to
use the WLAN Repeater as a router, you will
also require a DSL modem that needs to be
connected to the WLAN Repeater.
