1 Overview
The EW300R mesh repeater uses binaural antennas to support 2.4 GHz dual bands and is equipped with two
independent signal amplification chips. It can extend the dual-bandWi-Fi coverage. The maximum wireless rate
of the entire device is 1200 Mbps. The EW300R can extend the signals of other devices, and can also connect
to the Internet independently.
The signals that the EW300R can extend are:
Wi-Fi of any model from Reyee.
Wi-Fi of other vendors' devices. The compatibility problem may exist.
For the open hotspots in the merchant stores, the repeater function may be denied. The signals may not be
extended. In addition, open networks have security risks, so it is not recommended to extend such signals.
Caution
The supported encryption types include WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. If you want to
extend encrypted signal, please enter the correct Wi-Fi password.
1.1 Network Interface
In the factory settings state, the network interface works in WAN mode, which can be connected to an optical
modem as a router. To log in to the web page of the mesh repeater, connect to the Wi-Fi of mesh repeater.

2.1 Connecting the Device
1. Wireless Connection
Connecting the Device to a Primary Router (WPS)
(1) Connect the mesh repeater to power source, and wait 1-2 minutes until the status of blue indicator changes
from blinking to solid on. The mesh repeater is started.
(2) Press the WPS button on the primary router.
(3) Press the WPS button of the mesh repeater within 2 minutes. When the system status LED is solid blue and
the three-bar signal status LED lights up in turn, the device connects to the primary router successfully. In
this situation, the default Wi-Fi disappears, and the Wi-Fi name and password are synchronized with the
primary router. Clients can connect to the amplified Wi-Fi of the primary router to access the Internet.
(4) If system status LED is solid red and the signal status LED issolid white, the network connection fails. Check
whether the primary router can access the Internet. If the system status LED is solid red and the signal
indicator is off, the connection to the primary router fails. Move the mesh repeater to a position closer to the
primary router, remove obstacles, and repeat the preceding operations.
Connect the Device to the Modem or the Other Router
Before performing this step, you need to connect to the Internet. Search for the wireless network with the Wi-Fi
name @Reyee-sXXXX by using a mobile phone or laptop. The mobile phone and laptop can log in to the web
management page through a browser.
Note
XXXX in the Wi-Fi name is the last four digits of the MAC address of each device. You can find the default
wireless network name and web login address at the bottom of the device.
