• Flexible Installation with PoE & Multi-Mode: Offers multiple operation modes including Mesh Extender, AP, and Repeater. Integrated PoE support simplifies installation by using a single cable for both power and data. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports provide faster speeds than standard Ethernet ports.

4. Аппараттык компоненттер

The device features ports for LAN/WAN connections and antenna connectors. The bottom panel includes:

• LAN порту: For local area network connection.
• WAN/LAN Backhaul Port (PoE IN): Supports Power over Ethernet for both power and data transmission.
• GND: Grounding terminal for lightning protection.
• Калыбына келтирүү баскычы: Used to reset the device (Pair 2S, Reset 6S).

Antenna connectors are clearly marked for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

5. Антенна орнотуу

Антенналарды орнотуу үчүн:

1. Identify the 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennas. They are marked accordingly.
2. Align each antenna with its corresponding port on the device.
3. Gently push the antenna into the port and twist clockwise until secure. Ensure the rubber washers are properly seated for waterproofing.
4. Adjust the antenna direction for optimal signal reception and transmission.

6. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Connection

The device utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation, requiring only one Ethernet cable for both power and data.

1. Connect one end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to the WAN/LAN Backhaul (PoE IN) port on the extender.
2. Thread the Ethernet cable through the provided waterproof gland and rubber seal, then connect it to the 'PoE' port on the PoE converter.
3. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the PoE converter.
4. Кубат адаптерин стандарттуу электр розеткасына сайыңыз.
5. Connect another Ethernet cable from the 'LAN Data In' port on the PoE converter to your router or network switch.

7. Иштөө режимдери

The WAVLINK AC1200 Extender supports several operating modes:

• Кайталоо режими: Extends existing Wi-Fi coverage by receiving a signal from your main router and re-transmitting it.
• Кирүү чекити (AP) режими: Connects to a wired network and broadcasts a new Wi-Fi signal, converting a wired connection into a wireless one.
• Багыттоочу режим: Ал негизги роутер катары иштейт, туташкан түзмөктөргө интернетке кирүү мүмкүнчүлүгүн берет.
• Mesh Extender Mode: Integrates with other compatible Wavlink Mesh devices to create a seamless, unified Wi-Fi network. Note: This 572HP3 model supports functioning as a mesh extender, not a mesh controller.

8. Монтаждоо жана жайгаштыруу

The extender comes with a mounting kit for flexible installation. Consider the following for optimal performance:

• Choose a location that provides a clear line of sight to your main router (for Repeater/Mesh modes) or to the area requiring coverage.
• Mount the device vertically to allow for proper water drainage.
• Ensure the PoE converter is installed indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure, as it is not waterproof.
• Use the provided mounting kit to securely attach the extender to a pole or wall.

10. Техникалык шарттар

11. Кыйынчылыктарды

• Кубат жок: Ensure the PoE converter is properly connected to the power adapter and a working electrical outlet. Check the Ethernet cable connection to the extender's PoE IN port.
• Интернет байланышы жок: Verify that your main router has an active internet connection. Check all Ethernet cable connections. If in Repeater mode, ensure the extender is receiving a strong signal from the main router.
• Алсыз сигнал: Adjust antenna positions. Relocate the extender to a position with fewer physical obstructions between it and the main router or the area needing coverage.
• Cannot Access Setup Page: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network or via an Ethernet cable. Try resetting the extender to factory defaults by pressing the reset button for 6 seconds.
