3.3 Аппаратты кубаттоо

The device supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC power supply (48V 0.32A). Connect the appropriate power source to the device's power input port. For PoE, connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE injector or PoE-enabled switch to the WAN port.

4. Иштөө режимдери

The NEWFAST NF-A882-EU supports three primary operating modes:

4.1 Router/AP Mode

In this mode, the device acts as a primary router or an access point, providing internet access to connected devices. It connects to your internet source (e.g., modem) via the WAN port and broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal.

4.2 Repeater Mode

Repeater mode extends the range of an existing Wi-Fi network. The access point connects wirelessly to your main router and re-broadcasts the signal, eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.

4.3 Көпүрө режими

Bridge mode allows the access point to connect two separate wired networks wirelessly. It can also be used to connect wired devices to a wireless network.
