The LED turns solid blue to indicate that Zen WiFi XT8 is ready for setup.

ASUS ROUTER APP

Download free ASUS Router APP to set up and manage your router(s).

Ai Mesh Setup Steps

Prepare
Place your Ai Mesh router and node within 1-3 meters of each other during the setup process.
AiMesh node
Keep your Ai Mesh node powered on and on standby for Ai Mesh system settings
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 Ai Mesh setup.

NOTE: When you’re using a wireless backhaul to connect your router and Ai Mesh node, the WAN port on your Ai Mesh node can be used as a LAN port providing up to 2.5G transmission speed.

Troubleshooting

If your Ai Mesh router cannot find any Ai Mesh node nearby or synchronization fails, please check the following and try again.
a Move your Ai Mesh node closer to the Ai Mesh router ideally. Ensure that it is within 1-3 meters.
b Your Ai Mesh node is powered on.
Relocation

THE BEST PERFORMANCE

Locate the Ai Mesh router and node at the best place.

Troubleshooting

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

Q2:Could I set up a wired connection between AiMesh routers (Ethernet backhaul)?
A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connections between the 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.

Follow the setup steps to establish a connection between the AiMesh router and node via Wi-Fi first
Place the node in the ideal locations for the best coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the AiMesh router to the WAN port of the AiMesh node.
AiMesh system will auto-select the best path for data transmission, whether wired or wireless
