Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the RocketFish RF-HTN102 Wi-Fi Invite Wireless Hub. We hope that you will enjoy using this product to enhance your home network,
but before you begin, please take a moment to read through this manual to learn all the features of the device.
The RF-HTN102 is a high performance wireless hub designed to easily fit into your network and provide you with an easy way to connect all your devices and enjoy
multimedia and games throughout your home.
SUPERIOR SPEED
Supporting 802.11a/b/g/n, the RF-HTN102 provides a blazingly fast wireless transfer speed so that you can enjoy the latest multimedia to its full. When connecting using
802.11n you can experience speeds exceeding that of 100Mbps wired Ethernet connections.
BETTER PERFORMANCE
The RF-HTN102 can operate at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrums allowing you to choose which frequency performs best for you. If you have compatible hardware, you can
switch to operate on the 5GHz frequency to avoid crowding of the 2.4GHz spectrum and improve the stability and speed of your wireless connection.
INCREASED SECURITY
Using the included Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can set up your wireless connection simply and securely. The RF-HTN102 supports both PBC and PIN methods of
securely setting up the device. You can choose to use either WPA or WPA2 encryption methods to protect your network from intruders.
EASY SETUP
The Wi-FI Protected Setup (WPS) and Wi-Fi Invite features allow you to easily connect to a wireless router such as the RocketFish RF-HTN104.

Features
• Faster Wireless Networking - The RF-HTN102 provides up to 300Mbps* wireless connection with 802.11n wireless routers. This capability allows users to
participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11n wireless hub gives you the
freedom of wireless networking at speeds 650% faster than 802.11g.
• Compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g Devices - The RF-HTN102 is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g PCI and USB network adapters.
• Advanced Wi-Fi Configuration – The RF-HTN102 allows you to fine-tune your wireless settings to optimize performance for your specific environment.
Restrict Remote Access – You can specify which computers on the LAN have access to the administration tool.
•
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and Draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will
adversely affect wireless signal range.

Installation
This section will walk you through installing the wireless hub. Placement of the hub is very important. Be sure not to place it in an enclosed space like a cabinet, closet, attic,
garage or any other area where there is not ample ventilation.
The RocketFish RF-HTN102 wireless hub allows you to access your network via a wireless connection from anywhere within its operating range. However, keep in mind that
there are factors that affect the signal strength and range of your connection. The number of objects the signal must pass through together with the number of radio
frequencies in the area will have an effect on the range. Remember these tips to maximize the wireless range of your network:
1. Keep the number of walls or ceilings that the signal must pass through to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling that the signal must pass through will have an adverse
affect on the range of your network.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the devices. A wall that is at an angle will mean that signal needs to pass through a greater surface area than the normal
thickness of the wall.
3. Building materials make a difference. Try to position access points, routers and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways or through drywall.
Materials such as glass, metal, steel, walls with insulation, bodies of water such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, brick and concrete will degrade your wireless
signal.
4. Keep your wireless hub at least 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away from other devices which generate radio frequencies.
5. If you choose to operate the wireless hub on the 2.4GHz spectrum, be aware that this is more commonly used than the 5GHz spectrum and is therefore susceptible
to interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones. Try to keep the base station of your cordless phone as far away as possible from the wireless
hub as the base station will transmit a signal even if the phone is not in use.
