5.2. Web Interface Setup (Advanced)
For more advanced configurations or if WPS is not available, you can set up the device via its web interface. Refer to the included Installation Guide for detailed steps on accessing the web interface and configuring different modes.
6. Modes de funcionament
The COMFAST CF-WR302S supports three primary operating modes:
- 1. AP Mode (Access Point Mode): In this mode, the device connects to your existing wired network (e.g., from a modem or router via Ethernet cable) and broadcasts a new wireless network. It essentially turns a wired connection into a wireless hotspot.
- 2. Repeater Mode (Range Extender Mode): This mode extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. The device connects wirelessly to your main router's WiFi signal and re-broadcasts it, effectively eliminating WiFi dead zones.
- 3. Router Mode: In this mode, the device acts as a primary router, connecting directly to a modem via an Ethernet cable and creating a new wireless network for your devices. It provides network address translation (NAT) and DHCP services.
