1.3 EXTENDER’S WIRELESS MODE OPTIONS
The iiNet Wireless Extender has settings that provide three different modes of operation,
depending on your need at the time:
Repeater/
Extender
mode boosts and extends a weak Wi-Fi signal. (After installation,
this is the mode most frequently used as a starting point). This
is the most common function. For assistance in setting up this
option please refer to the ‘300N Wireless Extender – Quick
Installation Guide’ that was inserted in the box.
AP
mode lets you use the Extender as a wireless Access Point. This
function would be used if your modem is not wireless. You can
plug your iiNet extender into a power socket near your modem;
run the yellow network cable from your modem’s LAN port and
into the iiNet wireless extender LAN port. Then select access
point mode on the side of the unit to enable your modem to act
as a wireless modem.
Client
mode lets you use the Extender to turn a desktop or laptop into
a wireless desktop or laptop (client). Most computers today have
wireless in built. If however your PC does not already have wireless
you could plug your iiNet wireless extender into a power socket
near your PC, then run a LAN cable from your PC LAN port and
into the wireless extender LAN port; then select the client mode
on the switch on the side of your iiNet wireless extender.
