A special function called press-n-connect feature that you can setup a mesh network within 30 seconds simply by press a WES (Wireless Easy Setup) button. This function helps you expand the AP to where Ethernet cabling is not an option. A similar handy design is the TAS (Terminal Auto Setup) that automatically connects to the policy generator to hotspot gateway simply by press a button. To help owner checking the operation status, the system also provide log for system activities, report for accounts details with flexible options, and daily/ weekly/ monthly billing report.
