4. Налаштування
This section guides you through the initial setup of your COMFAST CF-WR301S. The device supports Repeater Mode and Access Point Mode.
4.1 Початкове підключення
- Увімкнення: Plug the CF-WR301S into a power outlet. Wait for the Power LED to turn green.
- Підключення до пристрою: On your computer or smartphone, search for available Wi-Fi networks. Connect to the network named CF-WR301S_xxxx (where xxxx are the last four digits of the device's MAC address). No password is required for the initial connection.

4.2 Repeater Mode Setup
Repeater mode extends the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network.
- Після доступу до web interface (192.168.10.1), select Режим ретранслятора.
- The device will scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the network you wish to extend from the list.
- Введіть пароль Wi-Fi для вибраної мережі.
- Ви можете зберегти той самий SSID (ім'я мережі) або створити новий для розширеної мережі.
- Натисніть Застосувати or зберегти. The device will restart. Once the Wi-Fi indicator turns green, the setup is complete.
4.3 Access Point (AP) Mode Setup
AP mode converts a wired internet connection into a wireless network.
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the LAN port of the CF-WR301S.
- Доступ до web interface (192.168.10.1) and select Режим AP.
- Configure the new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
- Натисніть Застосувати or зберегти. The device will restart. Once the Wi-Fi indicator turns green, the setup is complete.

5. Режими роботи
5.1 Режим ретранслятора
In Repeater Mode, the CF-WR301S wirelessly connects to your existing router's Wi-Fi network and re-broadcasts it, effectively extending the signal to areas with poor coverage. This mode is ideal for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.
5.2 Режим точки доступу (AP)
In AP Mode, the CF-WR301S connects to your wired network via an Ethernet cable and creates a new wireless network. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network or for creating a separate Wi-Fi network.
6. Технічне обслуговування
- Прибирання: Використовуйте м’яку суху тканину для очищення пристрою. Не використовуйте рідкі засоби для чищення або аерозолі.
- Оновлення прошивки: Periodically check the COMFAST official webсайт для оновлень прошивки, щоб забезпечити оптимальну продуктивність і безпеку.
- Розміщення: For best performance, place the device in a central location, away from obstructions and sources of interference.

7. Вирішення проблем
- Неможливо отримати доступ web interface (192.168.10.1): Ensure your device is connected to the CF-WR301S's default Wi-Fi network. Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
- No internet connection after setup: Verify that the main router has an active internet connection. In Repeater Mode, ensure you entered the correct password for the host Wi-Fi network. In AP Mode, confirm the Ethernet cable is securely connected and providing internet.
- Weak signal or slow speed: Relocate the CF-WR301S closer to your main router. Ensure there are no major obstructions (thick walls, metal objects) between the devices.
- Скидання пристрою: If you encounter persistent issues, press and hold the WPS/RST button for approximately 5 seconds until the LEDs flash. This will restore the device to factory default settings.
