The AirTies Smart Wi-Fi device, specifically the Air 4930 model, is an access point designed to extend and improve Wi-Fi coverage in a home or office environment. It can be used as a standalone access point or as part of a mesh network (home pack) to create a seamless Wi-Fi experience.
Function Description:
The AirTies Air 4930 functions primarily as a Wi-Fi access point, supporting both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi bands. When used in a home pack, multiple Air 4930 devices create a mesh network, allowing for broader and more reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout a property. The device is designed for easy installation and can be managed via a dedicated mobile application, the AirTies WiFi app, available on Google Play and the App Store. This app facilitates the setup of additional access points and helps optimize network performance. The device also features a WPS button for easy connection of compatible devices and Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connections.
