Introduction

1.1 Overview

The WRE6606 allows you to easily extend existing IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless networks fast
and easy. Simply plug the WRE6606 directly into a power outlet and the LED signal strength
indicator allows you to determine the ideal installation location. The one-click Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS Button on page 12) provides frustration-free wireless client setup and completes the instant
network access setup. Also, the WRE6606 can elevate your network experiences with dual band
and Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). You could use the 2.4GHz band for regular Internet surfing and
downloading while using the 5GHz band for time sensitive traffic, such as high-definition video
streaming, and big size file transfers. With WMM, it can automatically prioritize different types of
network traffics to reach optimal performance.
