Reyee REX 12 Wifi Extender Setup Guide, DIY Manual

It can be a bit tricky when it comes to setting up these simple looking wifi extenders. But not to worry you are at the right location now, let us help you and guide you with proper step by step guide for Reyee wifi range extender setup. First things first, make sure you have a working router with proper internet connection at your home.

Also the extender should be plugged in in the same room as your router. Although after successful setup you can place it at different locations. Now, keep your phone or laptop handy. We will need them too.

So lets start with the process-

Reyee wifi booster wps setup

So, this is the easiest setup and that’s why we will try this first. For this make sure wps is enabled on your router.

  • Now, press the wps button on your router for 2 secs. You will get a blinking wps led on it.
  • Within 2 mins press the wps button on the reyee extender. It is the button that you see on the top of the Reyee Rex12 ext. The wps led on the wifi booster will also start blinking.
  • Now it hardly takes 60 seconds for the router to make a connection with the booster. A solid wifi or wps led on the extender confirms a successful connection. If the wps light doesn’t lit then try the wps again or use the second method of reyee setup. Before you try the next method we recommend you first reset the reyee extender.

  • Now, grab your phone or computer and go to wifi. In the wifi list you will see your extender default network name showing up as “Reyee-Sxxx”.
  • Tap and connect to the “Reyee-Sxxx” network name. As soon as you connect to it the setup page will pop-up automatically. If it doesn’t then simply open a browser on the very same device.
  • You can use google, firefox, safari, etc to login into the setup page. So, on your browser in the address bar you need to type 10.44.77.254 or 192.168.110.1 this ip address to access the reyee browser management page.
  • On the setup page follow the on screen instructions. Then it will ask you to choose the network name that you want to extend. So there you simply need to select your router’s wifi network name among the list of all the available networks.
  • Additionally you need to type your router’s wifi passphrase (password) for confirmation.
  • After this save the settings and it will take around 60 secs for the Reyee ext to save the settings. You will see a solid wifi LED on your extender after successful setup. Now, you can unplug it and place it halfway between your router and the location where you need wifi connectivity.
  • In order to connect your device to the extender’s network go to wifi and look for your routers network name and connect to it. If you changed your extender’s network name then it will appear by that name.
