3. Configuration Steps for Button-based Pairing (Uplink Device is an EGW
Router)
Caution
Only EG105GW-X and EG105GW(T) support button-based pairing and each router
can be paired with up to 15 new APs.
The new AP must be in factory status.
It can be scanned only when the live network is enabled with Mesh (see 3.19
Enabling Reyee Mesh for details).
Place the new AP no more than 2 meters away from the uplink device to ensure that
the new AP can receive the Wi-Fi signal from the uplink device. The new AP may fail
to be scanned due to the long distance or obstacles between it and the uplink device.
(1) Power on the new AP and place it near the EGW router on the target network.
(2) Press and hold the Mesh button on the EGW router for no more than two
seconds to start pairing. The pairing process takes about one minute.
(3) Check the topology on the Overview page to make sure that the new AP has
connected to the uplink device in wireless mode.
(4) Power off the new AP and install it as planned.
(5) Log in to the Eweb of a device on the target network. In Network mode, choose
Devices > AP. Make sure that the new AP is online and the corresponding entry
contains icon in the Relay Information column. The icon indicates that
wireless backhaul is performed through the 5 GHz radio.
