Page 4: Introduction
WK-2x User Guide Version v1.2 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Pakedge WK-2x 802.11ac Dual Band Access Point. As the central component of your wireless network, the WK-2x provides you with high-speed, high-range wireless AC networking. The WK-2x broadcasts on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band so that select devices can choose their preferred source of wireless internet, improving the overall stability, reliability and performance of the wireless network. - Page 5 WK-2x User Guide Version v1.2 WDS Repeater – The repeater also receives wireless signal from another access point. However, unlike a brige access point, a repeater access point sends out Wi-Fi so that client devices can connect to it wirelessly. The functionality of the WK-2x changes depending on its operating mode.
