4. Driftstilstande

The Foscam WD-R1200U primarily operates in Repeater mode to extend your existing WiFi signal. It also offers functionality through its Ethernet ports.

• Repeater-tilstand: This is the default and primary function. The extender receives your existing WiFi signal and re-broadcasts it, effectively extending the coverage area. This is ideal for eliminating WiFi dead zones and improving signal strength in areas far from your main router.
• Access Point (AP) tilstand: While not explicitly detailed in the quick setup, the presence of Ethernet ports suggests the ability to function as an Access Point. In AP mode, the extender connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and then broadcasts a new wireless network, converting a wired connection into a wireless one.
• Kablet forbindelse: The two Ethernet ports allow you to connect wired devices (e.g., desktop computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs) to the extender, providing them with network access even if they lack wireless capabilities.
