# Mounting

The outdoor WiFi extender has a patented waterproof enclosure and white weather-proof coating for work in demanding environments.

The WiFi extender has a rugged and waterproof enclosure that withstands extreme weather for long-term outdoor uses. A set of o-rings, seals, and gaskets against water and dust. Ensure all rubber rings and seals are well positioned for the best waterproof protection. The WiFi extender works at -40° \~ +80° Celsius with effective heatsink fins and rain diverters.

## Location

The barriers can attenuate or block the wireless WiFi signals due to high frequency, especially the thick and solid walls. The WiFi extender should be installed in a suitable location, such as elevated, near a window, in an open space, and away from RF equipment.

## Pole Mounting

Find a pole with Ø35\~50mm diameter. The pole is not included in the package. The typical installation is on a vertical pole. You can also install it horizontally.

### L-Shape Bracket

The M6 cross-head screws are fixed on the backside of the WiFi extender. Take them off and use the cross end on the T-wrench to install the L-shape bracket on the backside of the enclosure.&#x20;

&#x20;*Note: Turn the bracket to parallel the pole if it's horizontal. The router antennas should be kept in the vertical direction.*

### Bolts & Holders

Please refer to the above image of the installation on a vertical pole.&#x20;

1. Clasp the pole with the U-bolts and holders.
2. Attach them on either side of the L-shape bracket.
3. On another side of the bracket, put washers, spring washers, and hex nuts on U-bolts.
4. Use an M10 spanner to turn the hex nut and tighten the bracket on the pole.
