1 Safety Precautions

Before operating SMCWEB-N2, read the following precaution information carefully:

Leave proper space for heat dissipation to avoid damage caused by device overheating. Heat dissipation holes enable the device to work normally. Do not cover heat dissipation holes.

Keep the device away from heat outlets or high temperature places. Prevent the device from direct sunlight.

Keep the device in dry places. Do not spill any liquid on this device.

Do not connect the device to any PC or electronic product unless our customer engineer or your broadband provider instructs you to do this, because any wrong connection may cause power or fire risks.

Do not place this device on an unstable surface.

2Overview

2.1Product Introduction

Thank you for choosing the SMCWEB-N2 Wireless N Universal Repeater. SMCWEB-N2, a pocket router, is case-shaped, easy to carry, and easy to install. Its wireless transmission rate is up to 300 Mbps. It is a high-performance and IEEE802.11b/g/n-compatible network access device that can provide reliable and convenient network access service for individual users and SOHO (Small Office, Home Office). It features Web-based GUI, allowing users to easily modify settings to connect the device to ISP (Internet Service Provider) and conveniently perform upgrade using the WEB page.

In addition, SMCWEB-N2 has a three-way switch on the side panel that enables users to change the device’s working mode among AP, Repeater, and Client. In the AP mode, the device functions as a wireless router to achieve wireless connection for the wired LAN. In the Repeater mode, the device provides the URM (Universal Repeater Mode) function for users to expand wireless coverage of the existing AP in a quick and easy way. In the Client mode, the device functions as a wireless network adapter but it can provide a better transmission and connection performance.
