Question 10

Why doesn't the Mesh 3 display connected devices in the Vodafone Station app?

Accepted Answer

The WiFi Mesh 3 operates differently from the old extender regarding its integration with Vodafone Station.

The old extender was recognized by Vodafone Station as a distinct mesh node, allowing connected devices to be viewed directly from the Station app. The Mesh 3, however, is treated by Vodafone Station as a simple WiFi device connected to the network, not as a mesh hub with its own devices.

Why this difference?

It is a proprietary integration issue between Huawei and Vodafone. The Mesh 3 is a complete mesh router (WiFi 6, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) designed to operate either autonomously or in a mesh network. Vodafone Station, on the other hand, has not been configured to recognize the Mesh 3 as a mesh node, unlike the older Vodafone extenders.

How to manage the Mesh 3?

To view and manage the devices connected to the Mesh 3:

Use the Huawei AI Life app, which displays all devices connected to the Mesh 3 along with their signal strength
Or access the web interface of the Mesh 3 at 192.168.3.1 (no initial password required)

These two methods give you full control over the devices linked to the Mesh 3, regardless of what Vodafone Station displays.

If you really need to manage the Mesh 3 from Vodafone Station, contact Vodafone support to find out if integration is possible or planned.
