Introduction - ActionTec WEB6000Q User Manual

Introduction

The Actiontec WEB6000Q is a wireless network extender with dual
concurrent radios supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz operation in
802.11 /b/g/n, and also 5GHz in 802.11a and the latest standard,
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 currently in
use and configured on the existing Actiontec
gateway/modem/router. This means that
wherever you are in your house, your Wi-Fi
tablet, laptop, phone, or wireless device will
connect to the Internet using the same
network and 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.
