About the Device

ALLNET ALL0236R Portable 300Mbps Wireless-N Extender supports wireless

802.11b/g/n standards with one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
ALL0236R is designed with MIMO technology to extend the reach of any existing

wireless router/AP to maximize the coverage in your home or office. It basically receives the
signal from your wireless router/AP and repeats it to extend the range to farther locations that are
previously unreachable.

Equipped with 64/128-bit WEP, WIFI Protected Access (WPA), and the latest WPA2

encryption with TKIP and AES algorithm to protect your wireless network from unauthorized
access. MAC Address Filtering for wireless links provides an additional layer of security for your
wireless network.

The device comes with 1 x 10/100M Auto MDI/MDIx Ethernet port that can be used to

connect to an existing wired network to serve as a wireless AP or wireless bridge. It can also be
used to configure the device via its web-based GUI, or upgrade the firmware when connected to
the Network Interface Card of your PC.

Configuring the Device

Before moving ahead to setup your wireless extender, it is often a good idea to identify the areas
where you have good wireless reception and weak or no wireless signal at all. Based from this
assessment you may place the wireless extender in between a location where you have good
wireless reception and where you have poor wireless coverage. The illustration below is an
example of a network diagram.

Wireless N Extender Version 1.0

NOTE: Placement of the Wireless Extender is crucial to get the best possible results for
extending your existing wireless signal. It is ideal for the wireless extender to be placed in a
location where it can receive good wireless signal from the wireless router/AP so as to avoid
disconnection and packet loss.

device, such as a Desktop PC, Game Console or Internet-ready LCD TV, to the Ethernet port of
the ALL0236R.
Setup Diagram

capable networking device. Simply connect an Ethernet cable from any available Ethernet LAN
port on the modem-router to the Ethernet port of the ALL0236R. The ALL0236R will serve as a
wireless interface for your wireless-enabled devices such as laptops and smartphones to connect
to the Internet via your existing modem-router.

To setup the device as a wireless AP

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from an available port in your modem-router and connect the
other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the ALL0236R.For a new Out-of-The­Box unit, No extra configuration is needed for the ALL0236R to be used as a wireless AP.
Simply connect an Ethernet cable from your existing modem-router to the ALL0236R and
you are ready to surf the Internet wirelessly. If you have already made any configuration on
the ALL0236R, press the Reset button beside the Ethernet port for 5 seconds to restore the
device to its factory default configuration.

2. You may refer to the sticker pasted at the back of the ALL0236R for the default SSID and
password to connect your wireless devices.
