3.1 Installing the Software
Setup Notes
When considering the placement of the ESR9850v2 remember the following:
It must be located close to a DSL or Cable modem.
It must be close to an electrical outlet.
Upon first setup, it must be close to the computer that is used to set up and configure the router.
For optimal wireless access place the router in the center of the room, at a high altitude and with an unobstructed view of the
other wireless devices.
Other electronic devices can interfere with the wireless frequency of the router and reduce the wireless access range.

6.2.1 Configuring Operation Mode
The ESR9850v2 supports two different operation modes: Router Mode and Repeater Mode.
Router Mode
In router mode the internal DHCP server allows a number of LANs to automatically generate IP addresses to share the same Internet
connection. In this mode, connect an AP/WISP wirelessly and connect to LANs via a wired connection.
Repeater Mode
Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by transmission over long distances and
through areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Note:
The device DHCP server is disabled when the device is set to repeater mode.
Operation Mode Select AP Router Mode or Repeater
Mode.
Note:
