2 Relay Installation Steps

2.1 Connect to WiFi

Plug in the power supply and wait for 1-2 minutes. Connect your device to one of the available WiFi networks: "COMFAST_XXXX_2G" or "COMFAST_XXXX_5G".

2.2 Login and Set Password

Click on the WiFi signal name ("COMFAST_XXXX_2G" or "COMFAST_XXXX_5G") to bring up the login interface. Enter "admin" in the password box and click "Set Password".

Screenshot Description: Mobile phone screens showing a WiFi connection list with "COMFAST_XXXX_2G" selected, a login page with the URL "192.168.10.1" and COMFAST branding, and a password setting screen with language selection (English) and an input field for the password.

Tip: If the login interface does not pop up automatically (e.g., if your mobile phone does not support pop-up windows), manually open a mobile browser and enter "192.168.10.1" in the address bar.

3.4 SSID Scanning and Connection

After setting the password for the first time, the repeater will automatically enter the scanning page. Select the SSID of your desired network, enter the password for your primary router, and click Save. The repeater will then reconnect to the wireless network. The extended WiFi signal will have the original SSID with a "-2G / 5G" suffix appended.

Illustrate Settings

The repeater offers several configuration options:

• WiFi5/WiFi6 Switch: Selects the WiFi protocol. The default is WiFi6.
• WPA3 Encryption: When enabled, the repeater uses WPA2/WPA3 hybrid encryption.
• Combine WiFi: Merges 2.4G and 5G signals into a single SSID, displaying only one name in the list.
• Sync Your Device: Sets the new WiFi name to match your original WiFi name, eliminating the need to manually reconfigure extended WiFi names.

3 Introduction to Working Mode

3.1 Working Modes

The software supports four working modes:

• Relay Mode
• Bridge Mode
• AP Mode
• Routing Mode (supporting PPPoE dial-up, Static IP, Dynamic IP)

3.2 Bridge Mode Settings

Bridge mode settings can be found and configured in the Advanced Mode section.

3.3 AP Mode Setting

To configure AP mode, navigate to the software management page and select "AP mode". For easier management, the IP address and default gateway should be set within the IP network segment of the upper-level router, ensuring no IP conflicts. After configuration, connect the device's WAN port to the external network. The management device can then be accessed via the set IP address.

Note 1: When accessing the external network in AP mode, the IP address segment for other mobile devices connecting to the AP is allocated by the upper-level device.

Note 2: By default, you do not need to set a specific intranet IP address for the device. If you need to manage the device, you must manually set the IP address of your computer's local connection network card.

3.4 AP Mode SSID/Password Configuration

In AP mode, you can set the 2.4G/5.8G wireless SSID names and passwords. After setup, connect the device's WAN port to the external network. Other mobile devices can then connect to the Internet by wirelessly connecting to the device's SSID and entering the password.

Screenshot Description: User interface elements showing mode selection (AP, Router, Repeater), network status, and detailed LAN/Wireless settings including IP address, subnet mask, SSID, encryption type (NONE), and PSK for both 5.8G and 2.4G bands. Options for "Combine WiFi" and channel selection are also visible.

3.5 Routing Mode Setting

In routing mode, you can choose from three Internet access modes:

1. PPPoE Dial-up Mode: Requires the Internet account and password provided by your network service provider. You can also set the 2.4G/5.8G wireless SSID name and password.
2. Static IP Mode: Requires the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and primary DNS address provided by your network service provider. You can also set the 2.4G/5.8G wireless SSID name and password.
3. Dynamic IP Mode: The WAN port accesses the Internet by assigning an IP to the upper-level network device. You can set the 2.4G/5.8G wireless SSID name.

Screenshot Description: A user interface displaying WAN settings with options for IP version (IPv4/IPv6), IP type (DHCP Client, Static IP, PPPoE), and wireless settings for 2.4G and 5G bands.

4 IPv6 Setting

Access the IPv6 setting page by clicking the gear ⚙️ and globe ? icons. The IPv6 Status displays information about the IPv6 address obtained by the device. The IPv6 Setting allows configuration of IPv6 LAN and WAN information.

Screenshot Description: Two interface screens. The first shows IPv6 Status with details like WAN IP, LAN IP, Default Gateway, DNS Server, etc. The second shows IPv6 WAN and LAN settings, including options for DHCPv6 Client, Static IP, and Server configurations.

5 Mesh Setting

Precautions

• The Mesh controller node should be enabled in Router or AP mode. Router mode is recommended.
• A Mesh network consists of a management node and at least one agent node.
• After enabling Mesh, click the "Trigger EasyMesh" button on the two node pages to pair them.
• Mesh pairing takes approximately 2 minutes. After pairing, check the status on the management node page.
• If Mesh is not formed successfully, try pairing again after clicking the "Restore EasyMesh to Default" button on the Mesh settings page.

Diagram Description: A schematic diagram illustrates the Mesh network topology, showing a central controller, an agent node, and multiple mobile devices connected to the Mesh network.

Mesh Pairing and Settings

After enabling Mesh, a button for Mesh pairing will appear. Click the "Trigger easymesh" button on the respective node pages to start building the Mesh network.

Screenshot Description: User interfaces for Mesh settings. One shows the role selection (Controller/Agent), SSID, encryption, and PSK for 5.8G and 2.4G bands, with an "Apply" button. The other shows a similar interface for an agent node, with an option to "Trigger easymesh".

6 Light Control Status

You can turn off the indicator lights in the advanced settings, with the exception of the power light, which cannot be turned off.

7 FAQ

Q: What's the role of a WiFi extender?

A: It boosts the range of your existing WiFi and creates a stronger signal in hard-to-reach areas. It cannot increase your router's WiFi speed; the speed of the extending WiFi will be reduced.

Q: Where shall I place the WiFi extender?

A: Place it halfway between your router and the weak signal area, ensuring it is within the range of your existing WiFi router network.

Q: How to reset the WiFi extender?

A: Press the WPS/Reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory settings. Once the light turns off and then back on, you can begin setup again.

Q: Why does WiFi keep disconnecting?

A: We recommend resetting the WiFi extender.
