FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1: Does the AiMesh router support Access Point mode?

Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers Ethernet backhaul? Q2:

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.
