Introduction
Congratulations for purchasing the Actiontec WxB6x00Q Wireless
Network Extender. The Extender is a wireless network extender with dual
concurrent radios supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz operation in
802.11 a/b/g/n, and also 5GHz in 802.11ac. This allows the Extender to
connect to everything from legacy wireless laptops, computers, and
gaming platforms, up to the most current (and future) Apple and
Android tablets, laptops, media platforms, and smartphones.
The Extender works by being placed in a central location of the home, or
in a location where the existing wireless signal is weak, and then being
physically connected directly to your gateway/modem. This physical
connection not only extends the signal, but allows the Extender to import
and automatically configure itself with the
same network ID/SSID and password that is
currently in use and configured on the
existing gateway/modem. This means that
wherever you are in your house, your WiFi
tablet, laptop, phone, or wireless device will
automatically connect to Internet without you
having to find a new network name or enter
security keys.
For users with newer mobile devices, tablets,
and laptops, connections through the 5GHz
radio can markedly increase the performance
and speed of your WiFi connection, while
freeing up the 2.4GHz band for legacy or
older devices.
