1 Introduction
The
EAP600
functional modes. The EAP600 is designed to operate in numerous environments from large homes, small and mediumsized businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its high-powered, longrange characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to
connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The EAP600 supports the 2.4GHz frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time providing 5GHz band
for communicating or transferring files in a less congested network frequency band.
The EAP600 delivers up to 6x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless
devices. Even though the EAP600 has been designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business
environments it is also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless range of an
existing home router, especially in very architecturally-challenging structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the EAP600 offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The EAP600 also includes MAC address filtering to
allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and other devices based on their MAC
addresses.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many
applications made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs:
a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be installed or deployed easily or cannot be hidden from view. Older
buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible,
impractical or expensive.
b) Temporary Workgroups
Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building – auditoriums, amphitheater
classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or
temporary Wireless LAN established.
c) The Ability to Access Real-Time Information
Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access real-time information while
dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
7
d) Frequently Changing Environments
Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
f) Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks
Devices like the EAP600 enable network administrators, installers and end-users to extend the range and reach of
an existing Ethernet-based network.
g) Training/Educational Facilities
Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information,
information exchanges, and learning.

2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP600 is essential to maximize
the access point’s performance. Avoid placing the EAP600 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the EAP600’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the EAP600 to have
optimal wireless range.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP600 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative
effect on the signal strength of the EAP600. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a
drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors,
file cabinets and/or brick can also diminish wireless signal strength.
Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the
EAP600’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

4 Building a Wireless Network
The EAP600 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP600.
4.1 Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, EAP600 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security
password to associate with the EAP600. The EAP600 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
23
4.2 WDS AP Mode
The EAP600 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EAP600 using WDS
technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses.
24
4.3 WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP600 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each EAP600 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to
communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP600 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in
the following figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More
Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your
network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from happening.
25
4.4 Repeater mode
The Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate signals from a wireless router or other access point/station that is
unable to reach certain areas in a building. When this mode is activated in the EAP600, the EAP600 receives the wireless
signal from an existing router or AP and relays it to other devices within its range so they can join the network.
26
