What are Repeaters?
As the term suggests, wireless repeater REPEAT wireless signals coming from
your router in order to reach areas that are in need of wireless coverage.
Why should I Use WL559E?
Whether you like it or not, your router cannot fully provide wireless coverage
all over your home, areas with weak wireless signals or even “blind spots” are
sure to occur. With the WL559E, say goodbye to these blind spots and extend
wireless signals to any part of your home that needs it.
Would Repeaters provide less bandwidth?
In concept, a router talks to wireless devices only. This allows routers to
provide FULL bandwidth to all wireless devices involved. With repeaters, the
communication is two-way; a repeater talks to both the router to repeat its
signal, and a wireless device, where it will relay the signal.
How would the SMART LED help me find signal?
The WL559E’s SMART LED detects signal quality. The nearer it is to the router,
the stronger the LED bar display will be. Through the SMART LED, you will be
capable of knowing where to place the WL559E by looking at the signal
provided by the router in this area.
What is Bridge Mode?
The WL559E’s bridge mode allows your Ethernet devices to connect wirelessly
to a router. With the WL559E’s bridge mode, enable your Ethernet device to
use the WL559E as a wireless client by enabling its Bridge Mode.
