Requirements
The extender is designed to work with routers using 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n wireless standards. Choose the operating mode to match the role you need: repeater mode extends an existing wireless network, while access point, router, bridge and client modes support other network arrangements. The stated combined data rate is split across the two bands, with 2.4GHz and 5GHz figures provided separately. The product is identified as having a UK plug, a useful detail to factor into your installation setup.
Practical tips
For a home with a weak signal in one area, place the extender where it can receive the router’s WiFi and serve the room or zone that needs better coverage. Its four rotatable antennas give you flexibility to adjust their orientation as you position the unit. Select the mode that corresponds to your network setup, then use the included manual as a guide. The dual-band design supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections, making this a practical alternative to relying on the router alone when you want to extend wireless access around an indoor space.
Before you decide
Which routers can it work with? It supports routers using 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n standards, covering a range of common WiFi generations.
What does the 1200 Mbps figure mean? It is the combined data rate across both bands: 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867 Mbps on 5GHz.
Can it do more than repeat a WiFi signal? Yes. Its five modes are repeater, router, access point, bridge and client, so you can select the role that suits your network arrangement.
Is it worth it?
The NEWFAST is a useful choice when the priority is extending indoor WiFi while retaining options for how the device connects to the network. Its dual-band 1200 Mbps specification, four adjustable antennas and five operating modes provide clear practical reasons to consider it for a home signal-extension setup.
