Setting up a Ruijie Reyee Access Point (AP) using the Ruijie Cloud app is highly automated. Reyee devices feature "Self-Organizing Network" (SON) technology, meaning they automatically discover each other and configure themselves with minimal manual input.

Here is the quick step-by-step guide to setting up your Reyee AP as a standalone unit or adding it to a new network using your phone.

Prerequisites Before You Begin

  • Download the Ruijie Cloud app from the App Store or Google Play Store.

  • Open the app and create a free account if you don't already have one.

  • Turn on Bluetooth and Location Services on your smartphone.

  • Connect your Reyee AP to your main internet router or PoE switch using an Ethernet cable. Ensure the AP's status LED is turned on and blinking/solid (indicating it has powered up successfully).

The Setup Method

1. Connect to the default Reyee Wi-Fi: Go to your smartphone's Wi-Fi settings. Look for the default open wireless network broadcast by the new device. It usually appears formatted as @Reyee-sXXXX (where XXXX represents letters/numbers from the device's MAC address). Connect to this network. Note: There is no default password.

2.Open the app & detect the device: Launch the Ruijie Cloud app. Because your phone is connected to the AP's default Wi-Fi, the app should automatically pop up a notification stating "New device detected" or prompt you to set up a new network. Tap Get Started or Create a Network.

3.Create a Cloud Project: Reyee organizes setups into "Projects" for easy cloud management.

  • Choose a Project Name (e.g., Home_Network or Office_AP).

  • Create a secure Management Password. This password will be used to log into the technical settings of the access point in the future.

4.Configure your Wi-Fi name and password: You will be taken to the wireless configuration screen to set up your primary network.

  • Enter your desired Wi-Fi Name (SSID) (e.g., MyFastWiFi).

  • Set your Wi-Fi Password (minimum 8 characters).

  • Optional: You can check a box to keep the management password and Wi-Fi password the same, though keeping them separate is more secure. Tap Save or Deliver Configuration.

5.Wait for configuration delivery: The app will push these settings directly from your phone to the AP over the air. The AP will apply the settings and reboot its wireless radios. The temporary @Reyee network will disappear.

Final Step: Once the status light on the access point stabilizes (usually turning a solid green or blue, depending on the specific indoor/outdoor model), open your phone's Wi-Fi menu once more. Select your newly created Wi-Fi name, type in your password, and verify your internet connection. You can now manage, monitor, or reboot this access point from anywhere in the world using the app!
