Finding the Ideal Location
AP or Router

Remote clients can now wirelessly connect to your
home wireless router or AP via the WRE6606 using
the wireless router or AP's SSID/Password.
Other Modes:
For AP mode, set the WRE6606 switch to A. Connect
your computer to the WRE6606 Ethernet port and
enter http://zyxelsetup or http://zyxelsetup.local in
your browser. Configure an SSID (Wi-Fi network
name) and corresponding Wi-Fi password in eaZy
123 for the WRE6606. Now disconnect the computer
from the WRE6606 Ethernet port and connect the
WRE6606 to the wireless router using an Ethernet
cable. Wireless clients can now connect to the
Internet using the Wi-Fi network name and pass-
word you just configured in the WRE6606.
For Client mode, set the WRE6606 switch to C.
Connect your computer to the WRE6606 Ethernet
port and enter http://zyxelsetup or http://zyxelset-
up.local in your browser. Select the SSID Wi-Fi net-
work name) and enter the Wi-Fi password of your
wireless router in eaZy 123. You now can use the
WRE6606 as a wireless adapter and access the
Internet through the wireless router by connecting
your computer to the WRE6606 Ethernet port.
EN
Make sure that the WRE6606 switch is set to R
(Repeater mode).
Note down your home wireless router or AP's cur-
rent wireless network name (SSID) and password in
order to connect the WRE6606 to it. Clients also use
these to connect to your home wireless router or AP
via the WRE6606.
EN
Note: Use Option A if your wireless router does
not support WPS or has WPS compatibility issues.
Initial Configuration - No WPS
First, connect your computer to the WRE6606
using an Ethernet cable. Open your web
browser and type http://zyxelsetup (Windows)
or http://zyxelsetup.local (Mac). If you can't
connect, check you're using a supported
browser version.
eaZy 123 runs automatically the first time you
access the WRE6606. If it doesn't open, click
the eaZy 123 icon on the upper right corner of
any Web Configurator screen.
ENENEN
Make sure that the WRE6606’s wireless 2.4G
and/or 5G Wi-Fi settings are the same as the
Wi-Fi settings on your wireless router or AP.
Wait for the 2.4G and/or 5G LEDs to light.
If the 2.4G or 5G LEDs do not light, the Wi-Fi
connection has failed. Check that your wireless
router or AP is turned on. Check that your
wireless router or AP SSID and password are
correct, then reenter them in eaZy 123.

eaZy 123 scans for available 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi net-
works and displays the network list. If you want
to associate with a 5 GHz network, click Skip 2.4
GHz.
In the 2.4 GHz network list, select your home
wireless router or AP SSID and enter its Wi-Fi
password (key). Click Continue.
If the wireless router or AP you want to connect
to is not listed, click Choose Network Manually,
then enter the SSID, security type and associat-
ed password of your wireless router or AP. Click
Continue.
The 5 GHz network list displays. Repeat previous
steps to select and connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi
network.

Next you want to to position the WRE6606
mid-way between your wireless router or AP and
the Wi-Fi dead zone where the wireless clients are.
Disconnect the WRE6606.
Tip: Connect a power bank (portable charger)
with DC 5V/2.1A output to the WRE6606's
micro-USB port, so that you can carry the
WRE6606 around the house to determine the
best deployment location. You want the
WRE6606 to be close enough to the clients so
that the signal is strong enough to be repeated.
When you have found a good location, plug the
WRE6606 into a nearby outlet.
The 2.4G and/or 5G LEDs should be green or
orange. If they're red, the WRE6606 is too far
from the wireless router or AP - move the
WRE6606 closer, but not too close as to cause
interference.

Initial Configuration - WPS
If your existing wireless router or AP supports
WPS, press its WPS button for 2 seconds and
then press the WPS button on the WRE6606,
within 2 minutes of each other. The WPS LED
starts blinking.
Wait for the WPS LED to become steady again,
and then check that the 2.4G and/or 5G LEDs
light, indicating a secure WRE6606-to-Router
Wi-Fi connection. If the 2.4G and/or 5G LEDs do
not light, the WRE6606-to-Router Wi-Fi con-
nection using WPS has failed. Use the No WPS
method.

Troubleshooting
Problem: I entered http://zyxelsetup or http://zyxelsetup.local in my
browser, but the web configurator login page didn't open.
Possible Solutions:
1. It’s preferable to connect to the WRE6606 using Ethernet. If you
logged in using Wi-Fi and changed the Wi-Fi settings, you must use the
new settings to log in again.
2. Try a different browser.
3. Turn off the WRE6606, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
4. Try http://192.168.1.2 instead of http://zyxelsetup or http://zyxelsetup.lo-
cal. When using http://192.168.1.2, your computer should have an IP
address in the 192.168.1.3~192.168.1.254 range.
5. Reset the WRE6606 back to the factory defaults. Press the WPS/RE-
SET button and hold it down for 10-15 seconds. Unplug and re-plug the
WRE6606 if it does not restart automatically.
Problem: I cannot connect to the Internet via the WRE6606 in Repeater
mode.
Possible Solutions:
1. Check you have entered the same Wi-Fi network password as your
wireless router in eaZy 123.
2. The WRE6606 in Repeater mode may not be within the Wi-Fi signal
range of your wireless router. Move the WRE6606 closer and try again.
The 2.4G or 5G LEDs should be orange or green.
3. Check that your wireless router doesn’t have security features
enabled such as MAC Filtering or a firewall. Disable MAC Filtering or the
firewall on your wireless router if it does.
4. If the wireless settings on your wireless router have changed, this will
break the link between the WRE6606 in Repeater mode and your
wireless router. Run eaZy 123 again to establish the connection with the
new settings.
