  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. Introduction ERB9250 is a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n 300Mbps Repeater & Client Bridge (Range Booster / Extender). Range Extender solves the signal attenuation (limited coverage) problem by literally repeating / extending AP radio signal to dead-spots. While repeater clones AP and serves as a subsidiary entity to its clients, client bride offers an extension of wired network to the AP.
