AiMesh Setup Steps

1.  Find your AiMesh router and AiMesh node, and place them within 3 meters of each other during the setup process.
   WiFi Backhaul connection (Skip to Step 02).
   Ethernet Backhaul connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the AiMesh router to the LAN port of the AiMesh node
   Powerline Backhaul connection (Skip to Step 02).
2. Connect the AiMesh router and AiMesh node to wall sockets using the bundled power cords.
   Do not use power extension cords to avoid degrading HomePlug signal and reducing data transfer speeds.
   To minimize powerline interference, connect the power cords to wall sockets directly.
   Plug the power cords to 3-prong outlets instead of 2-prong ones for higher data transfer speeds.
3. Use a network cable to connect your modem to the WAN port of the AiMesh router.
4. Wait until both LEDs turn solid blue indicating that devices are ready for the setup.
5. Enable Bluetooth on your phone and launch ASUS Router APP, and then follow the onscreen instructions to finish the AiMesh setup.

NOTES:

•  By default, the AiMesh router is paired with the AiMesh node, allowing you to quickly complete the setup. If the auto-pairing during the initial installation fails, you can manually pair the AiMesh router with the node by launching ASUS Router App or pressing the WPS/PLC combo button.
• To set the AiMesh router as the access point mode, go to web GUI (http://router.asus.com), and go to the page Administration > Operation Mode.
