Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MM2211 Wireless Broadband Gateway. The MM2211 is a
purpose-built home gateway designed to deliver the best possible connectivity from subscriber homes to
Mesh Networks. Mesh 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 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 MM2211 is a Customer Premise Equipment to allow the extension of
the Metro Wi-Fi signals to achieve a robust coverage within home. The MM2211 communicates
with the Mesh Networks routers to allow home devices (such as PC or laptops) to access the
Internet.
