Connect your R1 to a router, hub, or any available internet access with
cable, and R1 can turn cabled internet access into wireless. This is the
default operation mode of R1.
3. High Speed USB Charger
Using a USB cable, connect your mobile device to the R1 to charge it. Android
phones, iPhones, and tablets are supported.
