Note: In an Easymesh network consisting of two or more routers, the first router connected to the internet source acts as the controller, while the others function as agents.

The DSL Modem Routers and 4G/5G routers can only operate as controllers.

(If you don’t know the type of your model, please click DSL Modem routers and 4G/5G routers to check.)

For the router and mesh system, they could be controller or agents.

(If you don’t know the type of your model, please click routers and mesh system to check.)

Preparation for the setup:

1. Plug in the agent router next to the controller.

2. Ensure the agent router is in its factory reset state.

Press the WPS button on both devices once.

Note: Ensure the WPS button is activated before pressing the physical button.

When the EasyMesh network is established, the internet light on the agent router is lit.
