Operating Modes

The WONLINK WiFi Extender supports three operating modes:

• Repeater Mode: Extends the existing Wi-Fi coverage of your main router. This is the most common mode for eliminating dead zones.
• Router Mode: Functions as a primary wireless router, creating a new private network. This mode is typically used when you have a modem but no router.
• Access Point (AP) Mode: Converts a wired network connection into a wireless one. Ideal for areas with Ethernet access but no Wi-Fi.

You can switch between these modes via the web management interface after initial setup.
