AiMesh Setup Steps

1. Prepare
   Place your AiMesh router and node within 3 meters of each other during the setup process.
   

2. AiMesh node
   Keep your AiMesh node powered on and standby for AiMesh system settings .
   

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

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 ideally. Ensure that it is within 3 meters.
B: Your AiMesh node is powered on.

Relocation THE BEST PERFORMANCE

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

1. Q1: Does the AiMesh router support Access Point mode?
   A: Yes. You can choose to set the AiMesh router as router mode or access point mode. Please go to web GUI (http://router.asus.com), and go to the page Administration > Operation Mode.
