Overview of the 7211 Smart Wi-Fi Gateway
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ruckus Wireless MediaFlex 7211 Smart
Wi-Fi Gateway!
The 7211 Smart Wi-Fi Gateway is a purpose-built home gateway designed to deliver
the best possible connectivity from Wireless Broadband Networks to subscriber
homes. Wireless Broadband Networks provide coverage across wide areas using a
mesh distribution of access points based on standard Wi-Fi protocols.
The installation uses outdoor high power wireless mesh routers to achieve coverage
for outdoor wireless devices. Typically, the indoor coverage is inadequate to maintain
an acceptable quality level for users within the home.
The 7211 Smart Wi-Fi Gateway allows the extension of the Wireless Broadband
Network signals to achieve a robust coverage within home. The Smart Wi-Fi Gateway
communicates with the mesh network routers to allow home devices (such as personal
computers or laptop computers) to access the Internet.
