Quick Installation Guide| | This guide provides basic product specifications and information for installing the device and get it up and running on your home network

Single device installation

The device works in router mode by default. Please follow the below steps to install one single device:

1. Connect power adapter,power ON the device and wait the system boot up.

2. Connect WAN port of the device to your existing modem or router (Installed by Service Provider previously and make sure the Indicator is on and blinking.

3. Wait a few seconds for the device to obtain the IP, after success the indicator will light up and ON.
   If the indicator does not light up in step (3), please contact the service provider for advice.

4. Indicator is GREEN/BLUE on means that the device has been connected to the network, and the user can start to surf the Internet. If need to add a mesh device, please refer to the following steps.

Multiple device installations for deploying mesh networks

When need to install multiple devices (Set up Mesh network) to increase the coverage area to provide a better experience, you can refer to the description in this section. Firstly, please make sure the first device is installed and able to connect to the internet normally (Refer to the installation steps for a single device). Then Power on the second device, there are multiple ways to help you build a mesh network:

A, Setup Mesh AP with Wired Backhaul

The second device can be connected to the First device (Controller) through a Ethernet cable as the picture shows:

Connect the RJ45 port of the second device to the First device (Controller) through an cable. After two minutes, observe the indicator of the second device. When it stops BLUE flashing and remains BLUE ON, the mesh networking is successful. the WiFi configuration of the Controller will be synchronized to the second device. For the third or more device, it can be connected to the Controller or the second device by the same method. Compared with the wireless connection, the wired connection is more stable. After the mesh networking is successful, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and move the second device to the place for the need (the distance should not be too far, it is recommended that the WiFi RSSI signal be within -65dBm), the Mesh backhaul will automatically switch to wireless.

B, Setup Mesh AP with Wireless Backhaul

The second device can be also connected to the Controller through Wireless as the picture shows:

Installation Steps:

• Option 1: Connect through a network cable, and remove the network cable after mesh networking is successful Refer to the “Setup Mesh AP with Wired Backhaul” to complete the mesh networking, and after that, disconnect the Ethernet cable, the Mesh backhaul will switch to the wireless automatically.
• Option-2: Press the WPS button
  1. Press the WPS button on the Controller for 3 seconds and release the button.
  2. Press the WPS button on the second device for 3 seconds.
  3. Observe the WPS indicator of the second device. Wait about 120 seconds till the Indicator stops BLUE flashing and remains ON, then the mesh networking is successful.
