4. Select Operation Mode: On the configuration page, select your desired operation mode: Repeater Mode or Access Point (AP) Mode.
5. Enter WLAN Network Data: If you selected Repeater Mode, enter the details of your existing WLAN network (SSID and password). If you selected AP Mode, configure the new network name and password.
6. Save and Restart: Save your settings. The device will restart, and the new configuration will take effect.

6. Operating Modes

The Retoo WiFi Repeater supports two main operating modes:

Repeater Mode:

In Repeater Mode, the device wirelessly connects to your existing router and extends its signal. This is ideal for increasing the range of your Wi-Fi network without needing additional cables. It effectively eliminates Wi-Fi dead zones in your home or office.

Access Point (AP) Mode:

In AP Mode, you connect the Repeater to your router via a LAN cable. The Repeater then creates a new Wi-Fi network. This mode is useful for adding wireless capability to a wired network or creating a separate Wi-Fi hotspot.
