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.

3.2 Extreme Performance tests

Test
Procedure
and Expected
Results| 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.
(1) Install WiFi Moho or another app with the Wi-Fi scanning function on your mobile phone, check the interference analysis result, and find the optimal channel.
(2) Log in to the Eweb of the router to configure a specified channel.
Choose More > WLAN > Radio Frequency.
If the interference is severe, choose a lower channel bandwidth to prevent network freezing. The router  supports channel bandwidths of 20 MHz and 40 MHz. You are advised to select 20 MHz at 2.4 GHz and keep  the default bandwidth at 5 GHz. You are advised to select 80 MHz at 5 GHz when testing the network speed.  Click Save to make the configuration take effect immediately.

(3) Choose WLAN > Wi-Fi.
Disable Dual-Band Single SSID. Configure SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. Connect to the SSID of 5 GHz when testing speeds.

(4) If the device has an external antenna, keep the antenna upright, and keep the client facing the testing device.
(5) When the client connects to the SSID, ensure that the client is within 2 m (6.56 ft) away from the testing device.
(6) Select the optimal testing server when testing the speed by Speedtest.
(7) Test for three consecutive times, record the values and calculate the average.

(2) Connect the client to the SSID and move it to the specified testing position.
(3) Enable WiFi Moho and record the signal strength of the position.
(4) Enable Speedtest to test the speed and record the values.
(5) Record signal strength of different positions and speed testing results.

function of the repeater.
Test
Procedure
and Expected
Results| Connecting the Device to a Reyee Router (Reyee Mesh)
(1) Connect the mesh repeater to a power source, and wait for 1-2 minutes until the status
of the center green LED changes from blinking to solid on. The mesh repeater is started.
(2) Press the Reyee mesh button on the primary Reyee router or connect the network cable to the primary  Reyee router for automatic networking. When the three bars of the LED are on, Reyee mesh is successfully set  up. Then the default Wi-Fi disappears, and the Wi-Fi name and password are synchronized with the primary  router. When the signal LED is solid white, the network connection is successful. Clients can connect to the  amplified Wi-Fi of the primary router to access the Internet.
(3) If the center dot LED is solid red, the network connection fails. Check whether the primary router can  access the Internet. If the center dot is solid orange, the connection with the primary router fails. Move the  mesh repeater to a position closer to the primary router, remove obstacles, and press the Reyee mesh button  on the primary router again.
(4) Place the repeater in a position requiring signal coverage.
Note
The distance between the repeater and the primary router is less than two walls for a faster network speed.
Connect the Device to a Modem or the Other Router
(1) Connect the mesh repeater to a power source, and wait for 1-2 minutes until the status of the center green  LED changes from blinking to solid on. The mesh repeater is started.
(2) Search for the wireless network with the Wi-Fi name @Ruijie-sXXXX by using a mobile phone or laptop. The mobile phone or laptop can log in to the web management page through a browser.
(3) Select Wireless Repeater
Wireless repeater mode: Click Wireless Repeater, select the Wi-Fi of the primary router, and enter the Wi-Fi password of the primary router to connect to the Wi-Fi
In wireless repeater mode, the device extends Wi-Fi signals and disables its DHCP function. When clients  connect to the wireless network, the primary router assigns addresses to them. When the device in wireless  repeater mode extends the network of the primary router, the WAN interface is unchanged. If you connect the  network cable to the WAN interface, the device automatically switches to the wired repeater mode.

(2) Add the Rule
(3) When the blocking time is not reached, client access the Internet normally
(4) When the time reaches the specified block time, it will block completely within 40sec, client can access Wi-Fi but cannot access the internet.
(5) When the non-blocking time is reached, customer access to the Internet will be fully restored within 40sec.
