    October 25th, 2021

    This guide will walk you thorough how configure the WT5-ULB. 

    There are two configuration examples below. The first details a 1-to-1 setup with one access point and one station, this is the most common. The second setup is a 1-to-2 setup for when you have two locations (stations) to go back to a single point (access point). The same steps can be followed to add additional stations.
