Product Introduction

The WS323 300Mbps Mini Wireless Router
(WS323 for short) supports Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n
with wireless transmission rates up to 300 Mbit/s,
provides 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands for
more stable wireless signals, and adopts the 2x2
multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna
system for wider signal coverage.

The WS323 supports three working modes:

· Wi-Fi router: The WS323 works as a Wi-Fi
access point in a home or office.

· Wi-Fi repeater: The WS323 strengthens existing
wireless signals to increase the indoor coverage
range.

· Wi-Fi client: The WS323 works as a wireless
network adapter.

Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS)
button: establishes a wireless
connection quickly.

Gigabit network port: connects
the WS323 to a network cable.

Three working modes, with a wide array of functions

Supports three working modes: Wi-Fi router (configure WAN and
firewall settings), Wi-Fi repeater, and Wi-Fi client. You can easily
switch between the three modes for different application scenarios.

gWi-Fi router mode: helps you establish a private wireless access point.

In this mode, the WS323 connects to the Internet using the Ethernet port
to work as a hotspot, and allows clients, such as mobile phones or
computers to access the wireless network.

gWi-Fi repeater mode: increases the coverage of wireless signals.

In this mode, the WS323 wirelessly connects to the Internet and provides
wireless access for clients, such as mobile phones or computers. You can
use this mode to increase the signal coverage of a Wi-Fi hotspot or router.

gWi-Fi client mode: allows a wired device to provide wireless Internet access.

In this mode, the WS323 connects to clients such as STBs or computers
through the network port, allowing them to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot or
router.

High-speed Ethernet access and excellent performance

Uses MIMO technology, 2Tx2R built-in antennas, and high power
RF to provide strong signal strength and wireless connection rates
up to 300 Mbit/s.

Intelligent detection of wireless signals

In Wi-Fi client and Wi-Fi repeater modes, the WS323
automatically detects Wi-Fi signals of the connected access point,
and displays the signal strength using the LED indicator. This
helps you select a proper position for installing the WS323.

WPS button supporting press-to-connect, easy and secure

The WPS button lets you to establish a secure wireless
connection quickly.
