UltraRepeater - Range Expander 802.11b/g

Simple Range Expander. Double the range of your central AP by adding the UltraSRX. This device is an UltraWAP, that has been pre-configured into Universal Repeater mode. In this mode, your UltraSRX acts as both a station (to a central AP), and as an AP (with a new SSID). In this way you can simply extend the range of your central AP. The advantage of this mode over WDS is that the central AP does not have to have a WDS mode. (Some don't).

Preconfigured to suit your WiFi network - Plug and Play!

Just add the following information to your order comments, and Freenet Antennas will set your Range Expander up for you, ready for you to use out of the box :-

1. LAN IP address of existing ADSL router: _____._____._____._____
2. Details of the existing WiFi network you want to expand/extend:
   • WiFi Network Name (SSID): _______________
   • WiFi Network Channel : ______________ (1, 2, ... , 11)
   • Security type: ______________ (WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA-TKIP, none, etc)
   • Security Passphrase: ______________

Why is it so fast?

In a nutshell, because it is based on the latest high performance hardware. Here are some of the reasons it is fast:

• Fast CPU. This AP has an LX5280 32-bit RISC core processor, compatible with a MIPS R3000. It uses superscalar architecture, containing 2 execution pipelines.
• Intelligent Ethernet controllers. The on-board ethernet controller does the IP, TCP, and UDP checksum calculations internally. This means the main CPU is not interrupted to perform the calculations itself.
• Built in Crypto Engine. It is well known that most APs slow down when encryption is turned on. This unit has a built-in crypto engine - that offloads the main CPU from the very intensive encryption/decryption tasks.
• Separate TX/RX FIFO buffers. The wireless interface has separate First In, First Out buffers. This allows TX and RX packets to be intermixed with short interframe spacings. (Translation: shorter gaps between data packets while the CPU prepares the next packet => faster data throughput).

Features

• New. Three transmit power options. Freenet Antennas has worked with the manufacturer to develop a custom version with higher power options. The power must be specified at the time of purchase. It can not be changed by the user.
  • 60 mW (factory standard)
  • 130 mW
  • 200 mW
• Robust Wireless LAN Security. A total solution for you to build up a secure wireless LAN network environment is provided so that you can prevent all kinds of hacker intrusion. Controlled access can be enforced using:
  • hidden ESSID
  • MAC access control
  • WEP encryption (64/128 bit key length)
  • WPA/WPA2 (with shared key or with RADIUS)
  • 802.1x authentication (using a RADIUS server)
  • 802.1x authentication with WEP encryption
• Detachable Antenna This access point provides a standard RP-SMA antenna connector that can let you apply all kinds of high gain antennas. This can help you enlarge your wireless LAN coverage.
  
• DHCP Server.There is a built-in DHCP server so you can automate the network configuration of the PCs that connect to your AP. The DHCP server can be disabled.
• Web Configuration.You configure this access point through a friendly Web user interface with a any standard Internet browser.

Keeping it Legal

The ACMA sets the maximum legal Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) in Australia as 4000mW (36 dBm). The table below shows the maximum gain antenna that can be legally used with the various UltraWAP units.
