FCC Certification Information…..23 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the ZuniConnect ZR301 Wireless Router. Before installing and using this innovative product, please read this user’s guide thoroughly, and retain it for future use. This user’s guide will explain how to setup and use the router.
Product Overview This sleek yet powerful unit lets you create a secure wireless network whenever a wired Broadband connection is available. You can switch modes and use the ZR301 to extend an existing WiFi signal, or you can again change modes and create a Wireless Bridge/Extender.
Setup Instructions ROUTER MODE For this mode the ZuniDigital ZR301 uses a wired Broadband connection as the WAN (Internet) connection, to create a new sub-network that can then be shared via Wi-Fi and the LAN port. For the best results do not place the ZR301 near any large metal objects or magnets (like those found in speakers).
