Chapter Ii: Extender Mode; Extender Mode Quick Installation Guide - Edimax EW-7438RPn User Manual

Chapter II: Extender mode
In extender mode, the Wi-Fi
extender receives a wireless
signal from a root wireless
access point or router. It then
repeats the signal it receives.
This repeated signal can then
be detected and used by
other wireless devices, such
as notebook computers,
smartphones, and tablet
computers.
This extends wireless signal
coverage and helps solve
problems with wireless dead
zones.
This chapter will show you how to quickly install this device with Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, and how to set up the extender with the browser based
user interface.
