About the Device
ALLNET ALL0237R is a Wall-plugged 300Mbps Wireless-N Repeater, which
supports wireless 80 2 . 1 1 b /g/n, and one 10/100 B ase-T Ethernet port.
Repeat and Extend the WiFi
Network
ALL0237R supports robust 802.11n technology with up to 300Mbps data
transfer rate. The extender can take an existing 802.11n wireless signal, repeat
and extend it to a longer range where it is too far away for the router or
access point to reach. It eliminates the cable wires while providing the same
reliable network connection. It can repeat and extend the wireless signal from
virtually any 802.11n wireless router or access point that is launched on the
market. It is backwards compatible with the
802.11b/g router or access point.
Make Wired Network WiFi Ready
The extender is equipped with 1 x 10/100M Auto MDI/MDIX LAN port that can be
used to connect to an existing wired network to serve as a wireless interface. It
can also be used to configure the extender via its web-based GUI, or upgrade the
firmware.
MIMO Technology
The device is designed with MIMO technology, which successfully reduces “dead
spot”, and extends network coverage within a home or in the building.
Advanced Security
ALL0237R features with 64/128-bit WEP encryption and WIFI Protected Access
(WPA), WPA2 to ensure the network security and prevent unauthorized access to
you network.
Portable without the Need of External Power
Supply

Configuring the Device
Placement of the Wireless Repeater is crucial to get the best possible results for
extending your existing wireless signal. It is ideal for the wireless repeater 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.
LED smart indicator determines the signal strength from your wireless router.
Wireless reception and throughput may vary according to the number of wireless
clients that are in use at the same time, other nearby wireless devices, structure
type, building materials and other interference present.
