Note: if the hotel or company network restricts access to the terminal number or only provides an ID certification or IP address, it is recommended that the router mode be used.
The home already has the wireless router, but the study signal is weak, the bedroom cannot search the signal, needs to enhance the wireless signal and expands the coverage scope. Use the mini router's repeater mode for relay amplification.
The desktop needs to be connected to a wireless network, but no wireless card. The mini router works in client mode, which is equivalent to a wireless network card, which helps the desktop to access the network.
