Before Setup

Preparing to set up an AiMesh WiFi system

Find two ZenWiFi XC5, and power them on.
Use a network cable to connect your modem to the WAN port of either ZenWiFi XC5. This ZenWiFi XC5 will be the AiMesh router, and the other ZenWiFi XC5 will be the AiMesh node.
The LED turns solid blue to indicate that ZenWiFi XC5 is ready for setup.

AiMesh Setup Steps

ASUS Router App

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

AiMesh Setup Steps

Prepare
Place your ZenWiFi XC5 router and node within 3 meters of each other during the setup process.
AiMesh node
Keep your AiMesh node powered on and standby for AiMesh system settings.
Launching ASUS Router APP
Launch ASUS Router APP, and then follow the on-screen instructionsto 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. Ensure that it is within 3 meters.

b Your AiMesh node is powered on.

Relocation

THE BEST PERFORMANCE

Locate the AiMesh router and node close to your existing coaxial port. Relocation

NOTES: For better transmission quality, ensure that you use RG6 coaxial cables in the network environment.

The operating frequency range of MoCA 2.5 is 1,125MHz ~ 1,675MHz. Since some splitters may not be able to work properly (e.g., abnormal transmission) within the range, please make sure that the operating frequency of the splitter you use in the network matches that of MOCA 2.5.

To minimize Wi-Fi interference, keep the routers away from devices like cordless phones, Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Could XC5 be used with a MoCA adapter, or join an existing MoCA network?

Yes. XC5 is compatible with MoCA-compliant devices. To activate MPS, press and hold the MPS/WPS combo button for 3 seconds and wait for the front LED to blink blue.
FAQ Image 1

Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers (Ethernet backhaul)?

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.
