5. Operating Modes

The Comfast CF-WR765AC supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs:

5.1. Repeater Mode (Wireless to Wireless)

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the WiFi signal of your main router wirelessly. This mode is ideal for eliminating weak signal areas and dead spots, providing extended coverage to rooms far from your main router, such as bedrooms or bathrooms.

5.2. AP/Router Mode (Wired to Wireless)

In AP/Router Mode, you can connect the device to your main router via an Ethernet cable. The repeater then transmits a new WiFi signal, effectively converting a wired connection into a wireless access point. This is useful if your main router is too far to provide a strong wireless signal, but you have an available Ethernet port.

6. Maintenance

• Placement: For optimal performance, place the repeater in a central location between your router and the area needing extended coverage. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Cleaning: Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Ventilation: Ensure the cooling holes are not obstructed to allow for efficient heat dissipation.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cannot access setup page (192.168.10.1): Ensure your device is connected to the repeater's default WiFi network (COMFAST_xxx) and not your main router's network. Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
• No internet connection after setup: Double-check the password for your main WiFi network during setup. Ensure the repeater is within range of your main router.
• Weak signal from repeater: Try repositioning the repeater closer to your main router or in a more central location. Avoid physical obstructions like thick walls.
• Repeater not powering on: Ensure it is securely plugged into a working power outlet.
• Forgotten password for repeater's management page: You may need to perform a factory reset. Locate the WPS/RST button (usually a small pinhole) and press and hold it for about 5-10 seconds until the lights flash, then release. The device will revert to factory default settings.

8. User Tips

• For best performance, consider using the 5GHz band for devices that require higher speeds (e.g., streaming, gaming) and are closer to the repeater, as it offers faster speeds but has less wall penetration.
• The 2.4GHz band is better for devices further away or when signal needs to pass through walls, as it provides better range and wall penetration.
• If you experience slow speeds, try to minimize the number of devices connected to the extended network or ensure the repeater is not overloaded.
