Section 1 - Product Overview
The DIR-869 operates as an Extender when the mode switch is in the Extender position and the DIR-869 is connected
wirelessly to an uplink network. The DIR-869 creates a new wireless network and devices connected via Wi-Fi and LAN ports
obtain IP addresses from the existing router. Repeating a wireless signal reduces the total available amount of wireless
bandwidth.
