Three Easy Steps for Setup:
- Connect to the Repeater: Use your cellphone or computer to connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the repeater (e.g., "COMFAST-E356A-5G").
- Access Setup Page: Open a web browser and enter 192.168.10.1 in the address bar. Set a password for your device when prompted.
- Select Mode and Configure: Select "Repeater Mode" (or desired mode), choose the SSID (Wi-Fi network name) you wish to extend, input the password of your router, and save the settings.
Important Setup Tips:
- The Wi-Fi extender mode can be set up wirelessly using a smartphone or laptop.
- For optimal performance, set up the repeater mode successfully while the device is close to your main router. Once configured, you can then move the repeater to another location to extend coverage, minimizing potential issues.
- WPS Function: Click the repeater's WPS button, then activate the WPS function on your phone's wireless settings. Your phone will automatically connect to the repeater. Note: iPhones do not support the WPS function, and the WPS light on the device will remain blue without blinking.
Operating Modes
The Comfast CF-WR754AC supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs:
- Wi-Fi Range Extender (Repeater) Mode:
Extends the Wi-Fi coverage of an existing wireless network, eliminating dead zones. This is the default mode and is ideal for expanding your current Wi-Fi signal to areas with weak reception.
- Wireless Access Point (AP) Mode:
Converts a wired network connection into a wireless network. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the CF-WR754AC's WAN/LAN port, and it will broadcast a new Wi-Fi network.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Comfast CF-WR754AC, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation, especially around the heat dissipation vents.
- Proper Ventilation: Ensure the device is placed in a location with adequate airflow and that its ventilation holes are not obstructed.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, or corrosive environments.
- Power Off When Not in Use: If you plan not to use the device for an extended period, it is advisable to power it off and unplug it.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Comfast CF-WR754AC, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Cannot Access Setup Page (192.168.10.1):
Ensure your device (phone/laptop) is connected to the repeater's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "COMFAST-E356A-5G") and not your main router's network. Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
- Weak Signal After Setup:
Relocate the repeater. Use the intelligent signal indicator to find a spot that is within good range of your main router but also closer to the area where you need extended coverage. The ideal location is typically halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone.
- No Internet Connection in Repeater Mode:
Double-check that you entered the correct Wi-Fi password for your main router during the setup process. Ensure your main router has an active internet connection. Try restarting both your main router and the Comfast repeater.
- WPS Button Not Working (iPhone):
As noted in the setup tips, iPhones do not support the WPS function. You will need to manually connect to the repeater's Wi-Fi network and configure it via the web interface (192.168.10.1).
- Device Unresponsive / Factory Reset:
If the device becomes unresponsive or you wish to reconfigure it from scratch, press and hold the Reset Button for approximately 5 seconds until the lights change, indicating a factory reset.
