Mi mesh networking
For network coverage over a larger area, you can purchase multiple, meshnet- enabled Mi Wi-Fi routers. Please follow the steps below to set up your mesh network For the product models and versions of meshnet-enabled Mi Wi-Fi routers, please refer to mi.com/global
Pre-configuration
- Set up the Mi Router AX9000 as the central access point and complete network configuration. Both indicators on the front of the router should be solid white. 2. Place another router that supports mesh networking with your Mi Router AX9000 next to the central access point; this router will act as a satellite node. Make sure that the two routers are no more than 1m apart so as to avoid interference, which may disrupt the network configuration process. Connect to a power supply and wait 2-3 minutes for the System status indicator on the satellite node to turn white/blue. At this point, the central access point will automatically discover the satellite node. The Internet status indicator on the central access point will start to flash intermiently (once per second)
- Please make sure that the satellite node has not been pre-configured. If the satellite node has already been configured, press and hold the Reset button on the device for at least 5 seconds to reset, then try again. Additional Reset Instructions available here.
Configuration
Method 1 (recommended)
Press the Mesh bu on on the central access point to start wireless mesh
networking. The Internet status indicator on each router will begin to flash
intermi ently (twice per second), indicating that mesh networking pairing is
in progress
Mesh networking successful
Method 2
Use a network cable to connect the LAN port of the central access point to the
WAN port of the satellite node and configure wireless mesh networking. The
Internet status indicator on both routers will begin to flash intermi ently
(twice per second), indicating that mesh networking pairing is in progress
Method 3
Use the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app to add and connect to the central access
point. Then open Router Management and tap “Mesh network devices”, follow the
prompts to add the satellite node to your mesh network
Mesh networking successful
Wait for the Internet status indicator on each router to turn solid white or
solid blue, indicating that mesh networking has been successfully configured.
Once mesh networking has been successfully configured, you can move the
satellite node to your desired location for extended network coverage. You
should avoid placing the satellite node and central access point in locations
which are too far from one another or interrupted by multiple walls
