Chapter 6 Rover App Tutorials

NBG7510 User’s Guide

Note: Make sure you reset the Zyxel Device and WRE6605 to factory defaults before switching 

to a different mode. Remember to back up your configuration setting before resetting 

your devices to factory defaults. See 

Section 2.2 on page 22

 for more information.

1

Turn on your modem/router for Internet access. Connect an Ethernet cable from a modem/router to the 

WAN port on the Rover Router.

2

Note the power LEDs when you’re done. The power LEDs should be steady blue. Place the WRE6605 AP 

where you want WiFi coverage and connect it to the Rover Router using an Ethernet cable.

3

Download the Rover app to your smartphone and log into Rover Router’s WiFi network using the default 

label information on the back label. You may need to forget your current WiFi connection on your 

smartphone.

4

Change the default SSID and WiFi key on the Rover Router for better WiFi security; see 

Section 6.7.1 on 

page 66

 for more information. After applying changes, you will need to reconnect to the Rover Router 

again using the new SSID and WiFi key.

5

Use WPS to copy the SSID and WiFi key from the Rover Router to the WRE6605 AP. Press the WPS button 

on the Rover Router for 1.5 to 4 seconds and then press the WPS button for 2 seconds on the WRE6605 

AP within 120 seconds.

6

Use the Rover app and the table below to see if the access point is securely connected to the router; 

see 

Section 6.8 on page 71

 for more information.
