5. Рэжымы працы

The DBIT AC1200 router supports multiple operating modes to adapt to different network setups.

5.1 Рэжым маршрутызатара

In Router Mode, the device acts as the primary internet gateway, connecting to your modem and distributing internet access to all connected wired and wireless devices. This is the default mode for most home networks.

5.2 Рэжым рэтранслятара

Repeater Mode extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. The router connects wirelessly to your main router and re-broadcasts the signal, eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.

5.3 Рэжым моста

Bridge Mode allows the router to convert a wired network connection into a wireless one, or to connect two separate networks. When configured as a bridge, the device can provide wireless access to devices connected to a wired network, or extend a network segment.

6. Пашыраныя магчымасці

6.1 Dual-Band Wireless

The router operates on two distinct frequency bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 2.4GHz band offers broader coverage and better penetration through obstacles, suitable for general internet use. The 5GHz band provides higher speeds and lower latency, ideal for online gaming and high-definition video streaming.

6.2 Тэхналогія MU-MIMO

Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology allows the router to transmit data to multiple devices simultaneously, rather than sequentially. This improves network efficiency and reduces buffering when multiple devices are active on the network.

6.3 Beamforming and Antennas

The router is equipped with four 5dBi high-gain antennas and utilizes Beamforming technology. Beamforming directs the Wi-Fi signal directly towards connected devices, improving signal strength and coverage, particularly in areas further from the router.

6.5 Бяспека сеткі

The router supports WPA2-PSK encryption to secure your wireless network. Access control features allow you to manage which devices can connect to your network, enhancing overall security.

6.6 Гасцявая сетка

A guest network feature allows you to provide separate Wi-Fi access for visitors, keeping your main network private and secure.

6.7 Бацькоўскі кантроль

Parental control features enable you to manage internet access times and block specific websites for connected devices, promoting a safer online environment.

7. Выпраўленне непаладак

• Няма доступу ў Інтэрнэт:
  • Ensure your modem is working correctly and its internet indicator light is stable.
  • Check that the Ethernet cable is securely connected between the modem's LAN port and the router's WAN port.
  • Перазагрузіце і мадэм, і маршрутызатар.
  • Праверце налады падключэння да Інтэрнэту ў маршрутызатары web інтэрфейс.
• Слабы сігнал Wi-Fi або мёртвыя зоны:
  • Adjust the router's antennas for optimal positioning.
  • Relocate the router to a central location in your home, away from obstructions and interference sources (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
  • Consider using Repeater Mode or adding another EasyMesh compatible device to extend coverage.
• Немагчыма атрымаць доступ да маршрутызатараў Web інтэрфейс:
  • Пераканайцеся, што ваша прылада падключана да сеткі Wi-Fi маршрутызатара або да порта LAN праз кабель Ethernet.
  • Verify that you are entering the correct IP address (default is 192.168.10.1) у вашым браўзеры.
  • Ачысціце кэш браўзера або паспрабуйце іншы браўзер.
  • If you have changed the router's IP address, use the new address. If forgotten, a factory reset may be necessary.
• Забыліся пароль ад Wi-Fi або пароль для ўваходу:
  • Perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the RESET button for 5-10 seconds while the router is powered on. This will revert all settings, including passwords, to their factory defaults.
