Crestron CLW-EXPEX-GD-W-T infiNET EX Wireless Expander
The CLW-EXPEX-GD-W-T is a two-way RF expander for an infiNET EX network. It needs nothing but a 120V outlet, so it can be dropped discreetly into the hallway, stairwell, or garage that sits between two rooms full of devices and refuses to pass a signal. A single SETUP pushbutton with a green LED links it to the gateway. This is the ground-pin-down, white textured version.
infiNET EX is a 2.4 GHz mesh: every mains-powered device on it repeats for every other, so each unit added extends the network rather than loading it, and Dynamic Frequency Allocation keeps moving the network off channels that cordless phones, microwaves, and neighbouring Wi-Fi are sitting on. Up to 100 infiNET EX devices share one network, and a gateway is required and sold separately. The expander reaches roughly 150 ft (46 m) indoors or 250 ft (76 m) outdoors to the nearest mesh device, and it draws its power from the outlet rather than the network.
