Operation modes

ASUS EA-N66 provides three operation modes: Ethernet Adapter, Access Point
(AP), and Repeater.

NOTE: Please follow the GUI Setup Wizard for these modes.

Ethernet Adapter mode

By default, EA-N66 is set to the Ethernet
Adapter mode. In this mode, you can con­nect any Ethernet-enabled device to your
wireless home network via the
wireless router. This mode is perfect for
home theater devices such as Internet TV,
TiVo, and Blu-ray player.

IMPORTANT:

• For the best wireless performance, place EA-N66 at a distance of more than 1.5
meters away from the parent Access Point (AP).

• You can adjust the transmission power of EA-N66 from its web interface.
