4. Funcionament

The Metronic 495432 Wi-Fi Repeater supports two primary operating modes:

4.1 Mode de repetidor

In Repeater Mode, the device wirelessly connects to your existing Wi-Fi network and re-broadcasts the signal, effectively extending its coverage. This is the most common use case for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones. Devices connected to the repeater will use the same network name and password as your main router.

4.2 Mode de punt d'accés (PA)

In Access Point Mode, the device connects to your main router via an Ethernet cable (using the RJ45 port). It then creates a new Wi-Fi network, converting a wired internet connection into a wireless one. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network or creating a separate Wi-Fi network.
