1 Introduction
The
MR900V2
is a high-powered, long-range dual-band concurrent wireless 802.11a/b/g/n access point with four major
functional modes. The MR900V2 is designed to operate in numerous environments from large homes, small and medium-
sized businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its high-powered, long-
range characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to
connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The MR900V2 supports the 2.4GHz frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time providing 5GHz
band for communicating or transferring files in a less congested network frequency band.
The MR900V2 delivers up to 6x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices.
Even though the MR900V2 has been designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it
is also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless range of an existing home router,
especially in very architecturally-challenging structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the MR900V2 offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The MR900V2 also includes MAC address filtering
to allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and other devices based on their MAC
addresses.

2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the OPEN MESH MR900V2 is essential to
maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid placing the MR900V2 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or
stairwell.
2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the MR900V2’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the MR900V2 to
have optimal wireless range.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the MR900V2 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative
effect on the signal strength of the MR900V2. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a
drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets and/or brick can also diminish wireless signal strength.
Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the
MR900V2’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

4 Building a Wireless Network
The MR900V2 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the MR900V2.
4.1 Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, MR900V2 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password
to associate with the MR900V2. The MR900V2 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
23
4.2 WDS AP Mode
The MR900V2 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the MR900V2 using WDS
technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses.
24
4.3 WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the MR900V2 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each MR900V2 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to
communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the MR900V2 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in
the following figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access
Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your network,
so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from happening.
25
4.4 Repeater mode
The Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate signals from a wireless router or other access point/station that is
unable to reach certain areas in a building. When this mode is activated in the MR900V2, the MR900V2 receives the
wireless signal from an existing router or AP and relays it to other devices within its range so they can join the network.
26
