Thank you Alan, your tutorial helped me 100% get there with ease. It's refreshing to have a human being explain the steps, rather those other robotic Comfast slide shows that fail to convey things well.
Following the instructions the extender the Comfast came with would set up unsecurely and would not find the IP. Following this video, worked perfect. Bravo!! 2.4 G and 5 G securely installed. Thanks.
Thanks! Much easier to understand than the instruction manual that came with the device. Mine is the Elegiant WiFi Range Extender. The manual says to click on "router mode" but you were correct in selecting "repeater" instead.
Thank you! I was getting so frustrated cause I changed my wifi password and couldn't get my extender to pair up, so my smart lock and ring camera stopped working. I was getting so frustrated but this video helped. (It works to use a laptop instead of trying to connect it on a phone.)
Hallelujah! Bless you my son my son :) Thanks, I hate poorly written docs. The new website screen looks a little different now in 2021, but you can still figure it out okay. Thanks again
BTW. I recommend to upgrade firmware to latest one. For all who are looking for latest firmware for CF-WR302S you can download it from: en.comfast.com.cn/download/FirmwareUpgrade/ Just search for "CF-WR302S". Also keep in mind that CF-WR302SV2_x.x.x firmware is dedicated to CF-WR302S V2 devices, which is not compatible with CF-WR302S, do please do not make mistake. Actually latest one for CF-WR302S is v2.0.1 dated 2017-07-12 [Build Time Tue, 27 Jun 2017 17:52:33 +0800] (it is newer than 2.0.0.1)
i know this is an old video but when i plug my in to the wall it doesnt show the comfast wifi thing where i go to set it all up it just shows my normal wifi and i already read instructions didnt help
Summary of Steps: 1.) Plug device into wall (no need to connect Ethernet cable). 2.) Open up browser and go to 192.168.10.1 3.) Log-in with user: "admin", password: "admin" 4.) Click on "Repeater" 5.) Select Wi-Fi signal you want to extend 6.) Repeater can be named anything, pre-shared key must be changed to the password of the original router
All good. But...Doesn't this create a 'new' WiFi zone ( called 'extender' in this case) that has to be logged into by any device that wants to use it? Walking from room to room, next to the new Comfast unit, doesn't automatically go to the newly extended area? That's fine if you have static devices ( TV, BlueRay Game console etc) in the extended room, but mobile devices ( tablets, phones etc) don't seem to go to the strongest signal unless they are logged in to the new Comfast.
Hi - I have it setup as an extender. Do I connect thru the extender or my original network? If extender, I assume I have to reconnect my other devices?
So now that I have it all set up I am not able to get back in with the default URL. Do you know what I need to do so that I can get back in to the properties of the wifi repeater and make some setting changes?
Can somebody explain me why I cannot reach Comfast page with the IP adress? It always says it takes too long so I get an error connection time out. Also the diagnostic tells me the adress does not respond.
I have tried several times using your steps buy I am not successful. When I get to the last step it doesn't say connect like yours. It sat "save setting" or "re scan" what am I doing wrong?
Hi, I followed all the steps to set up the repeater and got connected but when I try to open a web page or use any other app requiring internet, it does not load. I even get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet even though it appears connected on my screen. Any help? Thanks
bosssho I have been able to save the problem. Actually you need to set your repeater somewhere you are having wifi signal so that it can capture the signal and repeat it. Mine was too far from the original wifi
I changed the SSID to the same name as my primary router (password the same of course) so all my wi fi camers would just log on to it..But was this a mistake? I can not verify they are connecting to this..and I suspect not as signal still soso..
Hi I buy Comfast CFWR758AC from amazon and is was good working but unfortunately I download Comfast WIFI Driver, Software Download & Manual Setup and I installed it wrong model (CF-AC100-V2.6.08) Know my item is have light but NOT any signal and doesn’t show any WIFI to fix or restart button not working please help me how to fix or what can I do ? Thank you very much! Best regards. Ali
Thank you for the time and effort of making this video:-) Just wondering if this extender is capable of extending the network/internet through LAN(meaning I can plug in my pc to the LAN port of this extender and get Internet connection)
Yeap, in repeater mode if you will connect this device to your PC using LAN cable then your PC will get IP from DHCP, and your PC will have full access to internet. So this device can be used as WIFI to LAN converter for instance. Of course other devices can also connect to this device via WiFi to access internet at the same time.
I have two internet's coming from my router. Only the shity one is showing up. One is getting eight megabits per second the other is getting 240. I want the one with the 240 to be extended
I set mine up in repeater mode according to your instructions and can connect to the internet via wi-fi great--4 bars. But for some reason, the Comfast changes the name of my network from NETWORK to NETWORK2. Because of this, I cannot find and play video files on my server as everything is on the NETWORK network. What can I do to prevent this name change?
This is repeater settings NOT EXTENDER. If you end up with having to connect to another wifi network that REPEATS a signal instead of extending it you won't be able to access you Googe Assistant, Crome, NAT servers og media centers on your main wifi. Because YOU are on a DIFFRENT SEPERATE WFI! So this product is utterly useless! :(

Alan, so far you’re the only person that was an actual help to me. Gonna try setup a little later. Ty
I watched a bunch of tutorials trying to figure out this repeater and this video is the BEST BY FAR.
Following the instructions the extender the Comfast came with would set up unsecurely and would not find the IP. Following this video, worked perfect. Bravo!! 2.4 G and 5 G securely installed. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I was getting so frustrated at the stupid instructions and you helped me set the thing up within minutes. You've made my day :)

Great Video. Got mine up and running following your instructions. Comfast WiFi signal & connectivity is very good
You extended my joy, sir. Thank you, very much, kindly.

Thank you VERY much for your informative TH-cam Extender Setup video!!
Not sure Edward Snowden should be extending his WiFi capabilities
lol
lmao
Instructions worked great thanks for doing the video
Very helpful in clearing up the ambiguities in the instruction booklet! Thanks!
Got mine all set up. I appreciate the video.
Not the same as the one I ordered, but it was still the same process. Thanks Alan!
Thanks! You were a tremendous help getting wifi to my shop. You should do more tech videos.
Thank you. If you have any suggestions on future videos, let me know!

Awesome tutorial - very thorough! Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you... copy and repeat 100 times. :)

Oriana Alcaraz same was you able to do it in the end
@@leongoodman5993 Hi Leon, what Broadband provider are you using?
Many thanks - great explanation on installation directions
Hi - I have it setup as an extender. Do I connect thru the extender or my original network? If extender, I assume I have to reconnect my other devices?
when i log to the comfast wifi. i cant open a browser cuz i dont have wifi!
Hey Alan will you please do a video on how to install the JOOWIN -EW74 WIFI REPETER
This was very helpful thx
I'm trying to reset the wifi extender due to wifi password change, can you please help?
So now that I have it all set up I am not able to get back in with the default URL. Do you know what I need to do so that I can get back in to the properties of the wifi repeater and make some setting changes?
I think you need to reset your extender and repeat the whole process to be able to access the ip address
Or just use wps button?
Can somebody explain me why I cannot reach Comfast page with the IP adress? It always says it takes too long so I get an error connection time out. Also the diagnostic tells me the adress does not respond.
the same is happening with me.
You can’t access it once the setup is done, it would have to be reset
I have an issue, my repeater keeps rebooting everytime its on and I obviously lose my connection.. What can I do? Or am I doomed forever with this ?
Um so how do u search in the browser if ur connected to the comfast? Bc the comfast doesnt have any network/wifi..
if i don't want to let the repeater transmit 5G can i turn it off from the router settings??
But how did it work once you got it going is it a decent piece of equipment
Can you see all this with a phone? I dont ha e a laptop or computer
I'm having problems doing this on Windows 10 prof. It detects the connection but no internet connection anymore?
What did you do?
I have tried several times using your steps buy I am not successful. When I get to the last step it doesn't say connect like yours. It sat "save setting" or "re scan" what am I doing wrong?

Same exact issue and no one seems to be able to help...Thing is useless
bosssho I have been able to save the problem. Actually you need to set your repeater somewhere you are having wifi signal so that it can capture the signal and repeat it. Mine was too far from the original wifi
Thanks! I have the wr500n but the instructions were pretty much the same
I've installed one of these no problem but when I connect a second one it connects as an unsecure network and I can't work out how to secure it.
what happens if it keeps saying it keeps saying there is no internet
as a repeater btw
Thank you
I changed the SSID to the same name as my primary router (password the same of course) so all my wi fi camers would just log on to it..But was this a mistake? I can not verify they are connecting to this..and I suspect not as signal still soso..

Great tutorial thanks for the help
How do I factory reset the CF-EW72??

I didn't realise it was this complicated.
I was under the impression it was literally plug & play????
Thank you!
Very helpful
Can I use my phone 2 set it up?
I set mine up in repeater mode according to your instructions and can connect to the internet via wi-fi great--4 bars. But for some reason, the Comfast changes the name of my network from NETWORK to NETWORK2. Because of this, I cannot find and play video files on my server as everything is on the NETWORK network. What can I do to prevent this name change?
Thanks Alan!!!
What i just reuse the comfast
How did you get into the extender? I got it plugged in and light is on....now what?
I SEE THAT HUNTER X HUNTER BACKGROUND
No Network No Lan Why???
High range WiFi 5-10km user manual
I can't connect to the Internet
Make sure the extender password is the same as your router. Is your computer finding the extender unit at its IP?
The ip address doesnt exists
Kok ngga ada yg pake bhs indonesia ya
This is repeater settings NOT EXTENDER.

so brains tell what we should be doing thanks
192.168.10.1

How do you access the admin setup screen once it is in repeater mode?
