1 - introduction

The Luxul Wireless Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Booster is designed to complement and enhance 
the performance of the Motorola AP-5131 Wireless Access Point (WAP). When combined with 
the AP-5131 and approved antenna, it delivers up to the maximum allowed transmit power (EIRP 
of 36dBm), resulting in a farther reaching and higher performing network. 

Luxul Wireless Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Boosters feature patented RF technology that dynami-
cally 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) technology 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.
