COMFAST WiFi Booster WiFi Repeater (300Mbps, White)

Product Information

If that works, then you should be able to connect the camera directly to the ethernet port on the Wi-Fi extender and have it connected to the internet. When the bridge is first connected to power you should see all the indicator lights on the side turn on briefly, this shows it is receiving power. If you use the Comfast extender frequently, you may encounter certain common issues. Such inquiries are made of our professionals on a daily basis.

Feel free to experiment with placement to get the best, most reliable signal. How to set up a Wi-Fi extender

This is called ‘roaming’ as it allows you to automatically switch between the router and the range extender, depending on which one is closer and provides the strongest Wi-Fi signal. Note: WPS does not support WEP wireless encryption. If your router’s wireless encryption is set to WEP, please follow the steps to reconfigure using web GUI. Our normal router is called 0606 Hyperoptic, and you can see that it transmits Wi-Fi on both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands. You can also see that the range extender is transmitting its own wi-fi signals - again on the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands - called TP-Link_Extender_2.4GHz and TP-Link_Extender_5GHz. If this has not already been pre-configured for you by our Helpdesk team, you will need to log in to the access point and set it up, see below for how to do this. In this article we will take you through how to configure your Comfast Wireless Bridge which can help you guarantee a reliable connection for a wireless CCTV system.

If you will be connecting a WiFi camera or something similar, it is also best to connect it whilst quite close to the access point, then mount the camera in the final position once it has already been connected to the access point. Your wifi router may have a button for a 5GHz band. If it does, you will probably want to utilize this as it is “less congested” and is not as affected by wireless interferences as much as 2.4GHz. One downside to 5GHz is that it has a tendency to have range issues now and then, but placement can decrease the likelihood of interruptions in your wifi performance.GearHead Support is a technical support service for NETGEAR devices and all other connected devices in your home. Advanced remote support tools are used to fix issues on any of your devices. The service includes support for the following: Press on the finish button which you will get a progress bar show up. Once done you can take the lead out of the laptop and plug it into your router.

Once the setup is complete you should mount the access point on the highest point that you can, with as few obstructions in between the access point and the location of the WiFi device as possible. The more obstructions that are in the way, the shorter the effective range of the access point, so if you need the signal to reach 200m from the access point then it will need to be a clear line of sight to the WiFi device. Note: If both your router and extender devices support the 5GHz band then select the router/gateways 5GHz network under the 5GHz network list. When the access point has turned on, it will create a WiFi network with a name beginning with 'COMFAST'. If we have pre-configured the bridges for you then it should now be connected to the internet.

There will be some small differences depending on the specific equipment you have but the basic idea of a bridge system is (starting from the camera): After you’ve turned on your router, you must connect your extender to it. To accomplish this, simply connect both of your devices using an Ethernet wire. Note: Performing a factory reset will erase all current settings, and this action cannot be undone. You’ll also need to repeat the process for the 5GHz band as well. Once this is done, the range extender is linked to the router on both Wi-Fi bands, and this allows the range extender to act as a kind of relay so that your computers and mobile devices in rooms that normally have poor Wi-Fi can now link to your router via the range extender. 6.
