CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
The WX3310 is a wireless extender that can function as a repeater or an Access Point (AP).
Set your WX3310 as an AP if you want to bridge a wired network (LAN) and a wireless LAN (WLAN) in the
same subnet.
Set your WX3310 as a Repeater if you want to connect an existing wired network through another
access point and also lets wireless clients connect to the network through it.
It supports WiFi6 that is most suitable in areas with a high concentration of users. See Section 10.3.2 on
page 55 for more information on WiFi6.
It can also use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks at the same time. See
Section 1.2 on page 10 for more
information on dual-band WiFi.
Figure 1 Device Operation Mode Example
In Figure 1, the WX3310 that is acting as a Repeater is letting a wireless client connect to an existing
wired network and also lets the wireless client connect to the network through the other WX3310 that is
acting as an AP. The WX3310 that is acting as an AP is bridging a wired network and a wireless LAN in the
same subnet. See Chapter 3 on page 24 for more information on these modes.
Use a (supported) web browser to manage the WX3310.
1.2 Dual-Band WiFi
By default, the wireless LAN (WLAN) is enabled on the WX3310. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax compliant
clients can wirelessly connect to the WX3310 to access network resources.
The WX3310 is a dual-band extender that can use both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same time.
You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz
band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Chapter 1 Introduction
WX3310-B0 User’s Guide
11
Figure 2 Dual-Band Application
The WX3310 can act as an Access Point (AP) for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless clients, such as
notebook computers, iPads, smartphones, and so on. It allows them to connect to the Internet without
having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.
Figure 3 Wireless Access Example
1.3 Securing the WX3310
Do the following things regularly to make the WX3310 more secure and to manage the WX3310 more
effectively.
Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the WX3310 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WX3310. You could simply restore
your last configuration.
1.4 Front Panel and LEDs
The following figure is the front panel of the WX3310. Use the LEDs to determine if the WX3310 is behaving
normally or if there are some problems on your network.

1.6 The WPS Button
Your WX3310 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device
itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one
device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has
two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
The WPS button is located at the back panel of the WX3310.
1.6.1 Using the WPS Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).
2 Choose a mode
AP mode: Press the WX3310 WPS button once. The WPS LED should start blinking. Press the WPS button
on the client within two minutes. Wait for the WPS LED to turn steady green indicating the WPS process
has finished. If it turns red, the WPS process has failed.
Chapter 1 Introduction
WX3310-B0 User’s Guide
15
Repeater mode (modem/router to the WX3310): Press the WX3310 WPS button once to copy the WiFi
settings from your modem/router to the WX3310. Press the WPS button on your modem/router within
two minutes. Wait for the WPS LED to turn steady green, which indicates that the WPS process is
finished. If it turns red, the WPS process has failed.
Repeater mode (the WX3310 to the wireless client): Press the WX3310 WPS button twice within 7
seconds to copy the WiFi settings from the WX3310 to a wireless client, such as your smartphone or
laptop. The WPS LED should start blinking. Press the WPS button on the client within two minutes. Wait
for the WPS LED to turn steady green, which indicates that the WPS process has finished. If it turns red,
the WPS process has failed.
Note: You must activate WPS in the WX3310 and in another wireless device within two minutes
of each other.
Note: With WPS, wireless clients can only connect to the 5GHz or 2.4GHz wireless network using
the first 5GHz or 2.4GHz SSID on the WX3310 (in AP or repeater mode).
For more information on using WPS, see Section on page 43.
1.7 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the RESET button at the back of the WX3310 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This
means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to
the default key on the device label. The WX3310 will be reset to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server.
1.7.1 Using the RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the RESET button for one to five seconds to reboot the WX3310.
3 Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the WX3310 back to its factory-default
configurations.
