2. AiMesh node
   Keep your AiMesh node powered on and standby for AiMesh system settings.

3. Enabling Bluetooth
   Enable Bluetooth on your phone.

4. Launching ASUS Router APP
   Launch ASUS Router APP, and then follow the on-screen instructions to finish the AiMesh setup.

Troubleshooting

If your AiMesh router cannot find any AiMesh node nearby or synchronization fails, please check the following and try again.
a. Move your AiMesh node closer to the AiMesh router ideally. Ensure that it is within 3 meters.
b. Your AiMesh node is powered on.
Relocation
THE BEST PERFORMANCE
Locate the AiMesh router and node at the best place. NOTES: To minimize interference, keep the routers away from devices like cordless phones, Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens.
We recommend that you place the routers in an open or spacious location.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1: Does the AiMesh router support Access Point mode?
– A: Yes. You can choose to set the AiMesh router as router mode or access point mode. Please go to web GUI (http://router.asus.com), and go to the page Administration > Operation Mode.
Q2: Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers (Ethernet backhaul)?
– A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connection between AiMesh router and node to maximize throughput and stability.
– AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for each frequency band available, and then determines automatically whether a wireless or wired connection is best to serve as the inter-router connection backbone.
– 1. Follow the setup steps to establish a connection between the AiMesh router and node via WiFi first.
– 2. Place the node in the ideal locations for best coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the AiMesh router to the WAN port of AiMesh node.
– 3. AiMesh system will auto-select the best path for data transmission, whether wired or wireless.
