Halo Wi-Fi Extender
Requires a Halo Long Range Wi-Fi Extender for use.
The Halo long-range Wi-Fi extender system takes a weak Wi-Fi signal
–
at a marina, for
example, or truck stop, basecamp, etc.
–
and amplifies that signal and routes it through
the RedPort Optimizer Wi-Fi hotspot. It has a marine enclosure designed for outside
installation. Install the Wi-Fi Extender almost anywhere outside.
Please consult the Halo Long Range Wi-Fi Extender Quick Start Guide for initial set up.
CAUTION: Attach the antenna to the Halo SB Extender Base BEFORE powering
the unit. Powering the Halo without the antenna attached will damage the unit
and may render it inoperable.
