3.1 Reyee mesh

Test Item	Reyee Mesh
Test Purpose	Zero-Configuration Networking for Pairing Multiple Reyee device

Test
Procedure
and Expected
Results| (1) The WAN port of the primary router is connected to the Internet and completes initialization. Clients such as mobile phones or PCs can find the SSID of the primary router and access the Internet.
(2) Move the secondary router next to the primary router. You are advised to place the secondary router within 2 m (6.56 ft) away from the primary router without any obstacle. Power up and turn on the secondary router.
(3) Press the Mesh button on the primary router. The Mesh LED of the primary router starts blinking. After 1 to 3 seconds, the LED on the secondary router starts fast blinking. When the LEDs on the primary and secondary routers are solid on, a Reyee mesh connection is successfully set up.
(4) Disconnect the secondary router and move it to the position to be tested for Wi-Fi coverage. Power up the router, and wait for 3 minutes until the LED is solid on.
(5) Log in to the Eweb of the primary router. You can check the mesh connection status on the homepage.
