6. Operating Instructions

The NEWFAST N300 WiFi Extender supports two main operating modes: Repeater Mode and AP Mode.

6.1. Repeater Mode

This is the default mode, used to extend the coverage of an existing wireless network. The extender connects wirelessly to your main router and rebroadcasts the signal, expanding its range.

6.2. AP (Access Point) Mode

In AP Mode, the extender converts a wired internet connection into a wireless network. This is useful if you have an Ethernet port with internet access but need to create a Wi-Fi hotspot.

6.3. Device Compatibility

The extender is compatible with any wireless network devices that comply with the 802.11b/g/n standard. This includes most routers, modems, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs.

  • Ensure the extender is placed in an optimal location, not too far from the router and not too close.
  • Reduce the number of devices connected to the extended network.
  • Check for interference from other electronic devices.
• WPS Setup Fails:
  • Ensure you press the WPS button on both the router and extender within the specified time frame (usually 2 minutes).
