1.1 Product Overview
EnGenius ERB300H/ERB150H integrates your home media
streaming wirelessly
The ERB300H/ERB150H comes with four Fast Ethernet LAN
ports. The ERB300H/ERB150H provides extended wireless
coverage through one (ERB150H) or two (ERB300H) detachable 2dBi antennas. The WPS push button design makes it
easy to setup the router without any complicated configuration
settings. The incorporation of three operating modes into the
router’s design means the ERB300H/ERB150H can be operated within different networking environments and applications.
X-TRA RANGE family routers are special tailored for multimedia and high performance applications
EnGenius ERB300H/ERB150H is one of the member of X-TRA
RANGE family series. The max. RF power is up to 26dBm for
the reason to enhance the signal and extend range to avoid
dead spots for home multi-media and light-business user.
ERB150H equips 1 x SMA connector designed while the
ERB300H equips 2 x SMA connectors designed. User could
change the high gain antenna by different demand.
3 x Operation Modes (Repeater / CB / CR)
ERB300H/ERB150H supports 3 Operation modes. In the
default Repeater mode, ERB300H/ERB150H is not only a HD
Media bridge gateway to bridge your home media with excellent
quality but also the Wireless Repeater. The Client Bridge mode
makes the ERB300H/ERB150H as a home wireless multimedia center. The 4 ports Ethernet designed can make more IP
related device to enjoy the smoothly wireless connection. The
Client Router mode can be connected with the WISP service
and share the Internet with family members.
Passive PoE Supported (ERB150H)
User might not find power socket from some special environment. This problem can be solved by the ERB150AN passive
PoE port. ERB150AN power can be supplied by 12V/1A PoE
Injector through RJ-45 cable.
Wireless LED Signal Indicator (ERB300H)
To easily identify where the best place for the ERB300H
through the Wireless Signal LED Indicator. GREEN means
GOOD. ORANGE means Normal. RED means POOR.
