4. Modos de funcionamento

The NEWFAST RE523 supports five operating modes to suit various network requirements.

• Modo repetidor: Extends the existing Wi-Fi coverage of your main router. This is the most common mode for eliminating dead zones.
• Modo AP (punto de acceso): Converts a wired network connection into a wireless one. Connect the extender to your router via an Ethernet cable, and it will broadcast a new Wi-Fi network.
• Modo enrutador: Functions as a primary router, creating a new private network. This mode is typically used when you have a modem but no router.
• Modo ponte: Connects two separate networks, allowing devices on one network to communicate with devices on another.
• Modo cliente: Allows wired-only devices (e.g., smart TVs, gaming consoles) to connect to a wireless network. The extender receives Wi-Fi and provides an Ethernet connection to the device.
