2. Activer le WPS du routeur : Appuyez sur le bouton WPS de votre routeur sans fil principal. Consultez le manuel de votre routeur pour connaître son emplacement exact et la procédure à suivre.
3. Activer l'extenseur WPS : Within 2 minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the NEWFAST extender for 2-3 seconds.
4. Attendre la connexion : The extender's indicators will flash and then become solid, indicating a successful connection. The extender will automatically copy your router's Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password, adding '_EXT' or similar to the SSID.

• Mode Répéteur : Extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. This is ideal for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones in your home or office.
• Mode pont : (Often integrated with Repeater or AP functionality) Allows the extender to connect to a wireless network and provide a wired connection to a device that does not have Wi-Fi capabilities.
• Mode AP (point d'accès) : Converts a wired internet connection into a wireless hotspot. This is useful in locations like hotels or offices where only wired internet is available.
• Mode routeur: Functions as a standard wireless router, creating a new private network from a modem connection.
• Mode client : Connects a wired-only device (e.g., smart TV, game console, desktop PC) to an existing wireless network. The extender acts as a wireless adapter for the wired device.

Vous pouvez passer d'un mode à l'autre via le web interface setup, adapting the extender to your specific networking needs.

   • Obstacles : Walls, large metal objects, and other electronic devices can interfere with the signal. Try to minimize these obstructions.
   • Réglage de l'antenne : Adjust the 180° rotatable antennas for optimal signal reception.
2. Vitesse de connexion lente :
   • Upstream Speed: The speed after extension primarily depends on the speed of your main router and internet service provider.
   • Ingérence: Other wireless devices or neighboring Wi-Fi networks can cause interference. Try changing the Wi-Fi channel on your main router if possible.
