Operating Modes

The STRONG Universal Wi-Fi Repeater 300 V2 supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs:

• Repeater Mode: This is the primary mode, extending your existing Wi-Fi network's coverage. The repeater connects wirelessly to your main router and rebroadcasts the signal.
• Access Point (AP) Mode: In this mode, the device connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and creates a new Wi-Fi network. This is useful for adding wireless capability to a wired network or creating a separate Wi-Fi hotspot.

You can switch between modes using the physical switch on the side of the device, as shown in the setup image, or through the web interface during configuration.
