Reyee Home & Mesh Wi-Fi Routers: The UK Installer's Guide

Published 8 July 2026 · Last updated 8 July 2026 · Netview Technical Team

Reyee home and mesh routers solve a problem every UK CCTV installer knows: the customer's ISP router is the weakest link in the system. Remote viewing drops, Wi-Fi cameras at the end of the garden buffer, and rural sites have no broadband at all. This guide walks through the full in-stock Reyee home range — from the RG-EW300T 4G LTE router for sites with no fixed line, through Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 routers, up to the Wi-Fi 7 RG-EW7200BE-PRO and the RG-M mesh kits — and tells you which to fit on each type of job. Everything below is stocked at Netview in Leicester for same-day dispatch.

Reyee home and mesh Wi-Fi router range for UK CCTV installers, Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 7 and 4G LTE — The Reyee home range runs from a 4G LTE router to Wi-Fi 7, all managed from the same free Reyee app.

Why does the customer's router matter on a CCTV job?

Because every remote-viewing complaint lands on your phone, not the ISP's. A CCTV system is only as dependable as the router behind it: Hik-Connect notifications, app playback and cloud access all ride on the customer's internet connection, and a struggling ISP hub with weak Wi-Fi means missed alerts and callbacks. Supplying the router yourself — as many installers now do with switches via the RG-ES PoE switch range — puts the whole network in your control and adds margin to the job. Reyee's home range is built for exactly this: plug-and-play setup, free app and cloud management with no subscription, and Reyee Mesh to extend coverage later without re-configuring anything.

The Reyee home & mesh range at a glance

Ten in-stock models cover every job from a bedsit to a large detached house — the table below is the fast way to shortlist. Prices climb with wireless class, port speed and mesh capability, so match the router to the property and the camera load rather than defaulting to the flagship.

Model	Class	Wireless	Wired ports	Best for
RG-EW300T	4G LTE + Wi-Fi 4	N300, 2.4 GHz	4 × 100 Mbps	Sites with no broadband
RG-EW300-PRO	Wi-Fi 4	N300, 2.4 GHz	4 × 100 Mbps	Flats, light browsing
RG-EW1200	Wi-Fi 5	AC1200 dual-band	4 × 100 Mbps	Small homes on FTTC
RG-EW1200G-PRO	Wi-Fi 5	AC1300 dual-band	4 × Gigabit	Gigabit workhorse, mesh
RG-EW1800GX-PRO	Wi-Fi 6	AX1800 dual-band	5 × Gigabit	Entry Wi-Fi 6, full-fibre
RG-EW3000GX-PRO	Wi-Fi 6	AX3000 dual-band	5 × Gigabit, dual-WAN	Busy households, dual-WAN
RG-EW7200BE-PRO	Wi-Fi 7	BE7200 dual-band	2.5G WAN/LAN + Gigabit	Flagship, future-proofing
RG-M18 (2-pack)	Wi-Fi 6 mesh	AX1800 per node	1 WAN + 2 LAN Gigabit	3–4 bed homes, dead zones
RG-M32 (single)	Wi-Fi 6 mesh	AX3200 per node	1 WAN + 3 LAN Gigabit	Add-on node or single router
RG-M32 (2-pack)	Wi-Fi 6 mesh	AX3200 per node	1 WAN + 3 LAN Gigabit	Large homes, Wi-Fi cameras

RG-EW300T: the 4G LTE router for sites with no broadband

The RG-EW300T is the answer when a site has no fixed line at all — drop in a SIM and the CCTV system is online in minutes. According to Reyee's official specifications, it takes a nano-SIM with a Cat4 LTE modem rated up to 150 Mbps downlink, broadcasts N300 Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz through four external antennas, and serves up to 32 client devices. Its four Ethernet ports are 10/100 Mbps, and the fourth doubles as a WAN port, so the same unit can later run on fibre or DSL if the site gets a fixed line. For farms, stables, building-site compounds and holiday lets, pairing an EW300T with an NVR and a modest upload-friendly data SIM is the quickest route to remote viewing — and because Hik-Connect uses an outbound P2P connection, it works behind carrier-grade NAT without port forwarding (see our Hik-Connect setup and handover guide).

RG-EW300-PRO and RG-EW1200: budget routers for light jobs

These two are replacement-grade routers for small properties where the ISP hub has failed or the customer wants app control without a big spend. The RG-EW300-PRO is a single-band N300 unit on 2.4 GHz with four 100 Mbps ports — fine for a flat with a doorbell, a couple of Wi-Fi cameras and light browsing. The RG-EW1200 steps up to dual-band AC1200 (300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz plus 867 Mbps on 5 GHz, per Reyee's home Wi-Fi range pages), which keeps camera streams on 5 GHz away from congested 2.4 GHz. Both keep 100 Mbps wired ports, so on full-fibre connections above 100 Mbps you should specify the gigabit models below instead — otherwise the router caps the connection the customer is paying for.

RG-EW1200G-PRO: the gigabit AC1300 workhorse

The RG-EW1200G-PRO is the default swap-in when a customer's ISP router needs replacing on a gigabit-capable line without going to Wi-Fi 6 money. Reyee's datasheet rates it AC1300 (400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 867 Mbps on 5 GHz) with six 6 dBi high-gain antennas, one gigabit WAN and three gigabit LAN ports, support for up to 96 concurrent clients and full Reyee Mesh compatibility. That mesh support is the practical win: fit one EW1200G-PRO today, and if the conservatory doorbell camera sits in a dead zone you add an RG-M node later with one button press rather than a rewire.

RG-EW1800GX-PRO: entry Wi-Fi 6 with mesh built in

The RG-EW1800GX-PRO is where Wi-Fi 6 starts in the Reyee home range, and it is the sensible minimum for a home on full-fibre with a growing pile of smart devices. Per Reyee's specifications it delivers AX1800 (574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz) using OFDMA and 1024-QAM, through a dual-core CPU and five gigabit ports in a slim 180 mm chassis. Wi-Fi 6's OFDMA matters on camera-heavy sites: it schedules many small uplink streams (exactly what battery doorbells and Wi-Fi cameras generate) far more efficiently than Wi-Fi 5, so alert clips upload faster even when the household is streaming.

RG-EW3000GX-PRO: AX3000 with dual-WAN aggregation

The RG-EW3000GX-PRO adds serious 5 GHz headroom and a trick none of its siblings has: two WAN links. Reyee rates it at AX3000 (574 Mbps + 2402 Mbps with 160 MHz channel support) with five signal amplifiers, and its dual-WAN aggregation can bond or fail over two internet connections. For a CCTV installer that failover is the headline: pair the fibre line with a 4G source and remote viewing survives an ISP outage — the same resilience logic we recommend on commercial jobs with the RG-EG gateway range, at a domestic price.

RG-EW7200BE-PRO: Wi-Fi 7 with 2.5G ports

The RG-EW7200BE-PRO is the range flagship for customers who want the network outliving the next two broadband upgrades. Reyee's Wi-Fi 7 datasheet gives it BE7200 throughput (about 1377 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 5765 Mbps on 5 GHz) with 4×4 MIMO on both bands, Multi-Link Operation for lower latency, nine antennas, two 2.5 Gbps WAN ports (one hybrid WAN/LAN), three 2.5 Gbps LAN ports, four gigabit LAN ports and a USB 3.0 port, serving up to 96 clients. The 2.5G LAN ports pair naturally with the uplinks on Reyee's smart switches, and MLO keeps app playback snappy on Wi-Fi 7 phones. If the same customer wants ceiling APs instead of a single router, see our Reyee Wi-Fi 7 access point guide.

RG-M18 and RG-M32: whole-home mesh kits

The RG-M kits are the fix for the classic complaint — the doorbell camera at the front and the Wi-Fi camera over the garage both sit in dead zones. The RG-M18 twin pack gives AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 per node with 2×2 MIMO on both bands and support for up to 192 devices across the mesh, per Reyee's RG-M18 page — right for a typical 3–4 bedroom semi. The RG-M32 steps up to AX3200 (800 Mbps + 2402 Mbps) with a 4×4 enterprise-grade chipset, eight signal amplifiers and gigabit ports on every node (Reyee RG-M32 specifications); the RG-M32 twin pack covers large detached properties. Every node has wired ports, so a mesh node behind the TV can also feed a nearby camera or the NVR over Ethernet.

Reyee Mesh: mix routers and nodes on phased upgrades

Reyee Mesh is cross-generation, which changes how you quote: Reyee confirms its mesh interconnects all Reyee Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 home routers. In practice that means an EW1200G-PRO fitted today can become a mesh satellite when the customer upgrades to an EW7200BE-PRO next year — nothing goes in the bin, and the Wi-Fi name and password stay put so every paired Wi-Fi camera and doorbell reconnects without a site visit. Pairing is one button press or a tap in the Reyee app, and the mesh works over Ethernet backhaul too, which is the right way to link nodes in outbuildings already served by a wireless bridge.

Six-step workflow for fitting a Reyee router on a CCTV job from survey to Hik-Connect handover — Six steps from survey to handover: check the line, pick the router, fit and app-provision it, mesh the dead zones, then verify Hik-Connect before you leave.

Setting up remote CCTV viewing through a Reyee router

The workflow is the same on every model in this guide, and none of it needs port forwarding. Fit the router, get the WAN side online (fibre, DSL or SIM), then provision it in the free Reyee app — Wi-Fi name, password and guest network in a couple of minutes. Cable the NVR to a LAN port (or to your PoE switch uplinked to the router), enable Hik-Connect P2P on the recorder, scan the QR code into the customer's app and verify playback on 4G with Wi-Fi switched off before you leave. Because the P2P session is outbound, it traverses home NAT and even the EW300T's carrier-grade NAT without touching firewall rules — full steps in our Hik-Connect handover guide, and desktop viewing via iVMS-4200 works the same way.

When should you fit an RG-EG gateway instead?

Fit a home router when the job is one property, one network and app-level control; step up to an RG-EG cloud-managed gateway when you need VLANs, multi-WAN policy or fleet management. The home range deliberately keeps configuration simple — there is no VLAN segmentation to put CCTV on its own network, no Ruijie Cloud multi-site dashboard, and no rack mounting. If the customer is a shop, office or any site you will manage remotely alongside other installs, our RG-EG series gateway guide and Reyee Cloud multi-site guide cover the right kit; for pure Wi-Fi coverage jobs, the outdoor access point guide completes the picture.

FAQs: Reyee home & mesh routers on CCTV jobs

Q: Does Hik-Connect remote viewing work through a Reyee home router?

A: Yes. Hik-Connect uses an outbound P2P connection from the NVR or camera, so it works through every router in this guide with no port forwarding — including the RG-EW300T on a 4G SIM behind carrier-grade NAT.

Q: Which Reyee router works on a site with no broadband?

A: The RG-EW300T. It takes a nano-SIM with a Cat4 LTE modem rated to 150 Mbps and its LAN/WAN port lets it switch to fixed-line duty later.

Q: Do Reyee home routers support VLANs for a separate CCTV network?

A: No — the home range is a single flat network by design. If the job needs CCTV on its own VLAN, specify an RG-EG cloud-managed gateway with an RG-NBS or smart RG-ES switch.

Q: Can I mix an EW-series router with RG-M mesh nodes?

A: Yes. Reyee Mesh interconnects all Reyee Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 home routers and mesh nodes, over wireless or Ethernet backhaul, with one-press pairing.

Q: Is there a subscription for the Reyee app or cloud features?

A: No. App provisioning, remote management and Reyee Mesh are free for the life of the product — there is no licence fee on any model in this guide.

Q: What should I fit for a customer with Wi-Fi cameras in a large house?

A: An RG-M32 twin pack. AX3200 per node, gigabit ports on each node for wired cameras or the NVR, and you can add further M32 or M18 nodes if the survey shows a stubborn dead zone.
