MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Magnetic Mounting The mounting kit included with the Range Extender / Bridge provides a convenient method to mount the Range Extender / Bridge on a wall or ceiling. Once you have chosen the location for where you want to install the Range Extender / Bridge, locate the Mounting Template. Use it to mark the screw hole locations onto your wall.
Once the screw holes have been marked, locate the Magnetic Mounting Kit and use the included screws to fasten the two magnetic plates to the wall.
Once the plates are fastened, attach the Range Extender / Bridge to the wall plates and check that the magnets are firmly holding the Range Extender / Bridge to the wall.
Wall Mounting
In addition to the Magnetic Mounting Kit, the Range Extender / Bridge can also be mounted using the standard wall mounting clips on the bottom of the device.

NETWORK BRIDGE OVERVIEW
A Network Bridge creates a connection between two separate networks wirelessly. The Network Bridge connects to a Wi-Fi network (either 2.4 or 5.0GHz network) of the existing network and provides wired connections to expand the network further. All devices connected to the Client Bridge are on the same subnet and local network as the existing network. Note: The Network Bridge does not create another Wi-Fi network to connect to, it only provides wired connections to expand a network.
REB175P
10
NETWORK BRIDGE MODE BASIC SETUP
Find an optimal setup location for your Network Bridge
Place the Network Bridge in a location where it can receive a strong signal from the Source Network. The better the connection the faster the bridged network speeds will be.
REB175P
11
Attach Antennas, Power On & Connect to your Computer
a) Attach the included antennas to the antenna ports on the Network Bridge. b) Power on the Network Bridge by attaching either the power adapter to the Bridge and plugging in the
other end into a power outlet or attaching a PoE Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port on the side panel and the other end to an active PoE switch.
c) Connect to the Network Bridge with your computer by attaching an Ethernet cable to the LAN2 port
on the side panel.

RANGE EXTENDER MODE OVERVIEW
Range Extender mode expands the range of any standard Wi-Fi router by repeating the signal (2.4GHz and
5.0GHz) and redistributing it in a new, extended location. In addition, to creating a new extended Wi-Fi network for devices to connect to, the Range Extender also provides additional wired connections for bridging additional network devices to the existing network. All devices connected to the Range Extender are on the same subnet and local network as the existing network.
REB175P

FIREWALL RANGE EXTENDER MODE (WWAN) OVERVIEW
Firewall Range Extender mode functions similarly to a router that connects to a Wi-Fi network instead of wired to a modem. It is a Range Extender that creates a secure firewall between the Source Network and the Extended Network. In addition to a firewall, the Firewall Range Extender also features its own DHCP server for assigning IP addresses to connecting users. All devices connected to the Extended Network (wired and wireless) are protected from the Source Network and the Internet. The Extended Network and Source Network are two completely separate networks.
REB175P

FIREWALL RANGE EXTENDER MODE BASIC SETUP
Find an optimal setup location for your Range Extender
Place the Firewall Range Extender in a location between your Source Network’s wireless access point/router and your wireless dead zone. It’s recommended that you place the Firewall Range Extender in a location where it can receive a strong signal from the Source Network’s wireless access point/router.
