The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature allows for a quick and easy connection to your existing router without manual configuration. Ensure your main router supports WPS functionality.

1. Locate the WPS button on your main wireless router and press it.
2. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on your NEWFAST NF-RE523 WiFi repeater for 2-3 seconds.
3. Wait for the repeater to configure and connect to your router. The setup is complete when the WiFi indicator light on the repeater becomes solid.

7. Көйгөйлөрдү аныктоо (FAQ)

Q1: What is the WiFi speed of this repeater?

A1: The speed depends on your main router and the frequency band being used. If your router is dual-band (2.4G & 5G), a 2.4G connection to the repeater will only provide 2.4G WiFi speeds. The repeater extends coverage but does not increase the maximum speed provided by your main router.

Q2: Does setting up the repeater require a network cable connection to a computer?

A2: No, the repeater mode can be set up by connecting your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop wirelessly to the repeater's initial WiFi signal.

Q3: Is the network speed faster when using a repeater?

A3: The repeater expands wireless signal coverage, but it cannot increase the inherent network speed provided by your internet service or main router.

Q4: After the repeater is set up, if it's unplugged or powered off, do I need to reset it?

A4: No, the original configuration information is saved unless you manually restore the device to its factory default state.

Q5: Can this repeater relay signals from other brands of wireless routers?

A5: Yes, the NEWFAST NF-RE523 is designed to repeat signals from most mainstream wireless routers on the market. It works optimally with COMFAST wireless routers.

Q6: There are many rooms in the house, is one repeater enough?

A6: If you need to fully cover WiFi signals in multiple rooms or a large area, you may need to add an appropriate number of repeaters based on the specific environment and signal strength in different areas.

Q7: Аппаратты кантип баштапкы абалга келтирем?

A7: Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds (or more). Wait until all the indicators flash, which indicates that the reset has been completed. You can then reconfigure the device as needed.

Q8: How do I know if the relay mode has been successfully set?

A8: During the relay setup process, the WiFi indicator light will flash. Once the relay is successfully completed, the WiFi indicator light will be solid on.

8. Колдонуучунун кеңештери

• For the best signal extension, place the repeater roughly halfway between your main router and the area where you need improved WiFi coverage.
• Adjust the rotatable antennas to optimize signal reception and transmission. Experiment with different angles to find the best performance.
• If you have many devices or a large area to cover, consider adding more repeaters or using a mesh WiFi system for seamless coverage.
• Regularly check the OLED screen for status indicators to ensure your repeater is operating correctly.
