The days of intermittent coverage and range problems with your
wireless equipment are gone with NetComm’s range of indoor
Wireless Boosters. A Wireless Booster aimplifies the power output
of your wireless router or access point to give you massive gains in
coverage.
Generally, most wireless routers and access points have a power
output somewhere between 20-50mW – with your wireless signal
affected by physical barriers (such as walls) as well as distance.
As a result, the throughput (actual wireless transfer speed)
deteriorates.
A NetComm Wireless Booster is connected between the router or
access point and the aerial in order to amplify your wireless power
output. The NP560 increases power output to 200mW and the
NP562 increases it to 500mW. The Booster reduces the affect
of physical barriers on your wireless – the result, a significant
increase to actual throughput. Also, the booster can potentially
pass your wireless signal through a concrete or brick wall#.
The other benefit is a massive increase to your wireless range.
When beaming a wireless signal outdoors, the NP562 can possibly
extend a wireless signal up to 500 metres.*
Note: your wireless router or access point must have a detachable
aerial in order to use this product.

NetComm does not gurantee that a wireless signal will penetrate a concrete or brick
wall in all circumstances.
* This is an estimate of wireless range. Actual distance can be affected by many
factors including environment, physical barriers, line of sight, other wireless
networks, aerial location and others.

ATTEN TION: The use and inst allat ion of this WiFi device must comply wit h the Australian Spectrum Management legislation which specifies that a WiFi transmitting station must not have an
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) exceeding 4-Watts.
ERP is a radio frequency signal strength field measurement and can be calculated as: Wireless device output power, less t he power lost in the antenna feed-line (antenna connection cable),
plus the power gain of the antenna itself. If you are unsure about any of these parameters or how to calculate t hem, please consult your inst aller or dealer. Alternatively you can visit the
Australian Communications & Media Authorit y (ACMA) website at www.acma.gov.au
Exceeding such power restriction limits is illegal and may result in undesirable radio interference which is strictly monitored by t he ACMA.
