About the Router
Weak signals emitted by wireless routers have always been considered
as a common problem for households. Walls and other interferences simply
disrupt your wireless network, leaving other parts of your house with a weak
wireless signal.
To answer this common wireless problem, Aztech developed the
WL590E, a Wall-Plugged Dual Band Concurrent Wireless-AC Repeater. It
extends your router’s wireless signal to various areas obstructed by walls and
interferences commonly present in households. The device has also been
improved further by commendable features which would powerfully work
together to continuously provide you with the consistent satisfaction when it
comes to your wireless network.
Extend High Speed Concurrent WiFi Coverage throughout your Home
Designed to extend your router’s wireless coverage, the WL590E is
equipped with a concurrent dual band feature, allowing it to provide both
2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequency bands that can be simultaneously accessed
by your wireless devices whenever needed.
The Dual Band feature enables this amazing device to provide
alternatives for wireless devices. With the (a) 5.0GHz band as the best partner
for bandwidth-hungry activities such as online gaming and HD audio video
streaming due to its high transfer rates of up to 450Mbps (802.11ac), and the
(b) 2.4GHz band which can provide high speeds of up to 300Mbps (802.11n),
this device is truly a must-have addition to your household’s network needs.

SMART LED Indicator for an easier deployment
Aztech WL590E has been designed and developed with a SMART LED,
a feature which allows you to easily determine the best possible location of
your WL590E where it can repeat the signal properly to all of your wireless
devices. This LED changes its display and color as the signal received from
your wireless router weakens or strengthens to help you select the best
possible location for its deployment.
Unique and Intuitive Portable Design
Providing you with a device you would surely enjoy, Aztech
conceptualized this device’s design to ensure device portability and
environment adaptability; equipping you with a device that not only provides
amazing wireless connectivity, but also a device that is appealing and
stunning on its own.

SMART LED Indicator
Your WL590E is equipped with a SMART LED indicator which determines the
signal strength from your wireless router as seen below:
NOTE: Wireless reception and throughput may vary according to the
number of Wireless Devices that are in use, and at the same time, other
nearby wireless devices, structure types, building materials, and other
interferences present.
NOTE: Your WL590E’s SMART LED 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, and at the same time, other nearby wireless
devices, structure types, building materials, and other
interferences present.
TIPS: The higher the throughput, the lower the extended wireless
coverage would be.
