Introduction
EnGenius AP Dot (EMD2) is designed with a smaller size,
but provides highly AC1300 performance combine with
power plug. EMD2 also be built-in EnMesh™ wireless
link technology to extend Wi-Fi ranges throughout your
entire home or small ofce all the time.
Introduction - EMD2
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions,
the device offers different encryption settings for
wireless communications, including industry standard
WPA and WPA2 encryption. The AP also includes MAC
address ltering to allow network administrators to
provide network access only to known computers and
other devices based on their MAC addresses.

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.
