Reyee AX3200 Wi-Fi Mesh Router Setup
Apart from the basic router mode, you can also configure your router to work in a Mesh format. However, this can only be done if you have at least configured one router as a Parent device. If not, you can first set one of the Reyee routers as a Parent router and then proceed with adding the rest of the devices to the network easily.
Steps to start with the Reyee WiFi-6 Router AX3200 Setup process:
- Connect the main DSL line to the WAN port on your router device.
- Also, connect the power cable to the power inlet port at the rear.
- Now, turn on the power supply and allow a few seconds for the router to power up.
- Once the router is ready, tap on the Next button you see on the app.
- Use a smartphone to connect to the router’s network.
- Open the Wireless Networks section on your smartphone and connect to the router now. Once connected, return to the Reyee app.
- The app will now detect the WiFi network of your Reyee router and connect to it automatically.
- Once you see the Router Config window appear on the screen, select the Connection Type as WAN depending on your internet connection.
- If you have a PPPoE connection, you will require a username and password from your ISP(Internet Service Provider). Once you have selected the appropriate router configuration, tap Next.
- Configure the network SSID and password for your Reyee router. Once done, tap on the Next button and you will see Configuration Succeeded message appear on the app screen.
- Once you see that, tap on the Save button and then configure the network successfully.
