For mesh router set:
Master AP is used as the main router, which is to be connected, via provided network cable, to your home Broadband Gateway (i.e. cable/DSL modem, PON gateway); Slave AP is used for Wi-Fi network expansion. Please refer to ONE ROUTER SETUP STEPS (for Master AP) & MESH SETUP STEPS (for Slave AP) for network setup.

ONE ROUTER SETUP STEPS

• The Single Router or Master AP in a Mesh Router Set can be connected according to the diagram above.
  Note the DSL/PON/Cable Gateway must be connected to the Port 1 of the AP. The AP is connected to the Internet when the LED light is steady green. If you can, try to place the Single Router or Master AP in an open area like on a table or a shelf.

• Wired devices can be connected directly to ports 2, 3, or 4 for Internet access; wireless devices can use the network name (SSID) & password (see the sticker on the bottom of the Single Router or Master AP) to connect to the Internet.

MESH SETUP STEPS

Place the Slave AP at a proper location based on your home layout. After powering on again, Slave AP is all set when the LED is steady green. To optimize wireless performance, place the Slave AP in a location that minimizes the barrier (such as a wall, door, and floor) between the Master and the Slave AP. We recommend one wall/door/floor between the two APs. You can connect the Slave AP to your Master AP via network cable (preferred method) or wirelessly.
*Note:* If you know there is a spot in your home, where the Wi-Fi signal is the weakest. Try to place the Slave AP midway between the Master AP and the weakest spot.
Note:** When Master AP and Slave AP paring successfully, the SSID and Password would be the same, which is showing on the bottom of Master AP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 After connecting the network cable from DSL/PON/Cable gateway to the Azores AP or Azores Master AP in a mesh set, the AP’s red LED keeps flashing. What should I do?
Answer: Some cable carriers limit the number of home devices to one. This problem may happen if you replace your old router with Azores AP. In this case, you need to power down the cable gateway, leave it powered down for 15 seconds, and power back it up. Afterward, power down and up the Azores AP or the Master AP in a mesh set, Then you should see the AP’s LED turns steady green pretty soon.

Q2 How to reset the device?
Answer: When the router is powered on, pushing the “Reset” hole on the bottom of the device with a needle. The LED starts to flash green and hold for 5 more seconds. Release when the LED turns off. The LED will become steady red and will then start. Wait for about 2 minutes, then the factory default reset is completed.
Q3 Mobile phones and other devices are connected to the router but cannot access the Internet.
Answer:

1. Check whether the main router is connected to your Broadband Gateway. The main router’s network port should be connected to your Broadband gateway (i.e. DSL/Cable modem, PON gateway) with a network cable.
2. If PPPoE Internet access is needed, you need to check whether the broadband account and password are filled in correctly; otherwise, check whether the Internet status of your Broadband Gateway is normal.
3. Make sure the broadband service is normal and you have paid the Internet bill.
4. When all the above are normal, try rebooting the device and then check the network once it powers back on.

Q4 How to manage Azores router network?
Answer: Connect your device to the Router using a wireless or wired connection. Open an internet browser and enter http://192.168.0.1. You can modify WAN configuration, router configuration, single SSID for 2.4 and 5G network, guest Wi-Fi network, and retrieve your wireless network status.

Answer: Please make sure to use the Azores Router APP to connect to the Azores router, and use the current Wi-Fi password for login.

Q6 If I want to switch the Mesh Router Set to wireless networking after successful wired networking, What should I do?
