802.11 b/g/n mode while at the same time providing
5GHzbandforcommunicatingortransferringlesinaless
congested network frequency band.
The EAP900H delivers up to 6x faster wireless speeds and
7xextendedcoveragethanlegacy802.11a/b/gwireless
devices. Even though the EAP900H has been designed
andengineeredfortrafcheavyanddemandingbusiness
environments it is also quite at home in larger house
scenariosbecauseitefciently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
EAP900H offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WPA and WPA2

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 or deployed easily or cannot be hidden
from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or
areas make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible,
impractical or expensive.
• Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks
in more open areas within a building – auditoriums, amphitheater
classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, 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
need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small
network.
• Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks:
Devices like the EAP900H 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 ease access
to information, information exchanges, and learning.

This section will guide you through the installation
process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP900H is essential
to maximize the access point’s performance. Avoid placing
the EAP900H in an enclosed space such as a closet,
cabinet, or stairwell.
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 EAP900H’s
wireless signals must pass through. Here are some
key guidelines to allow the EAP900H to have optimal
wireless range.
• Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP900H
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 signicant negative effect on the
signal strength of the EAP900H. 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: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 EAP900H’s signal
strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or
cordless phones.

with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP900H to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following
gure.
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 conguration 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.
