concurrent Wireless 802.11ac/b/g/n Access Point with
three major functional modes. It is designed to operate

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 EAP1750H supports the 2.4 GHz frequency band under
the802.11b/g/nmodewhileatthesametimeprovidinga
5GHzbandforcommunicatingortransferringlesinaless

The EAP1750H also delivers up to 15x faster wireless speeds
compared to legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Even
though the EAP1750H has been designed and engineered
for heavy trafc and demanding business environments,
inlargerhousingenvironmentsasitcanefcientlyextend
the wireless range of an existing home router. This makes
it especially ideal in architecturally-challenging structures,
providing whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions,
the EAP1750H offers different encryption settings for
wireless transmissions, including industry standard WPA
and WPA2 encryption. The EAP1750H also includes MAC
addresslteringtoallownetworkadministratorstooffer
network access only to known computers and other devices
based on their MAC addresses.

Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and
highlyefcient.Thefollowinglistdescribessomeofthe
many applications made possible through the power and
exibilityofWLANs:
• Difcult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where
wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden from
view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas
that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible,
impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network
solution.
• Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks
in more open areas within a building; auditoriums, amphitheaters
classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary
ofceswhereonewantseitherapermanentortemporaryWireless
LAN established.
• The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses,
Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers, and/or processing information.
• Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in
environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms,
Exhibits, etc.).
• Small Ofce and Home Ofce (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users
require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
• Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks:
Devices like the EAP1750H enable network administrators,
installers, and end-users to extend the range and reach of an
existing Ethernet-based network.
• Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or
students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for
learning purposes.

This section will guide you through the installation process.
Placement of the EnGenius EAP1750H is essential to
maximize the Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing
the EAP1750H in an enclosed space such as a closet,
cabinet, or stairwell.
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often
not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown
obstacles in the environment in which the device is
deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness,
andlocationofwalls,ceilings,orotherobjectsthatthe
EAP1750H’s wireless signals must pass through can
weaken the signal. Here are some key guidelines for
allowing the EAP1750H to have an optimal wireless
range during setup.
• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP1750H
and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling
can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal
strength.
• Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or
aluminum stubs may have a signicant negative effect on the
signal strength of the EAP1750H. Locate your wireless devices
carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open
doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water
(example:shtanks),mirrors,le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 EAP1750H’s signal
strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or
cordless phones.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Operations in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band
are restricted to indoor usage only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 30 cm between the radiator & your body.

Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d’Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement
est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter
tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.
Caution:
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-
channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these
radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Avertissement:
(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur an de réduire
les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;
(ii) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs
principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du
brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
