Connection and Start-Up
You always have to first configure the device as Mesh-Router, regardless of whether you have purchased the 2-pack set or the single device. However, if you purchased a 2-pack set or single device as extenders, you can skip the Mesh-Router setup step.
If you configure a 2-pack for the first time, you need to configure one of the two devices as the primary router. It doesn't matter which one. Once the router is configured, continue with the repeater.
Basic installation of the devices
- Plug the power adapter output into the "DC IN" socket (2) on the respective product.
- Plug the power adapter into a mains socket.
Connecting the Mesh-Router
- If you intend setting up the product as a Mesh-Router, connect port "Internet LAN/Backhaul" (8) to the appropriate port on your modem, router, etc. with a network patch cord. If necessary, turn your modem on.
Switching on
- Use the slide switch (3) to turn the product on and wait until the boot process has finished. This will take approx. 2 minutes.
Mesh-Router first time setup
- Connect a computer, Mac or mobile device to WLAN or to one of the two LAN ports of the Mesh-Router described above.
The default WLAN-SSID is printed on the label at the bottom of the device; it is predefined and unique for each device. By default, the WLAN is not encrypted.
- Open the router's configuration page. To do this, enter either the website URL http://ap.setup or the default IP address 192.168.10.1.
→ Check that you are connected to the correct WLAN network, if the page is not properly displayed or does not load at all. If necessary, restart your device or alternatively, try a different browser.
- As soon as the login page appears, select your language and wait for the page to reload.
- Then enter your password "admin" (without the quotation marks) to log in.
- The setup wizard will start automatically, if you are configuring theMesh-Router for the first time.
Select your country in the In the top field. If it is not listed, select "GLOBAL".
Then, in the second field, set the appropriate time zone location for the Mesh-Router.
In the menu below, you can choose whether the Mesh-Router should restart regularly on a given day/time or on a day/time that you have defined. Select the last item in the list, if you don't need this option.
Finally, enter a new login password for the web interface.
Click the blue button below to save.
- On the next page, you need to configure Internet access and the WLAN network of the Mesh-Router.
Under the first item, select the connection type. If the router works behind a modem that requires dial-in, select "PPPoE". If you intend to use the router behind a device that does not require dial-in, (for example, another router, cable modem, etc.) select "DHCP".
For "PPPoE" enter in the appropriate fields your full user name and the password of your DSL connection.
Under the next item you have the option to change the name of the WLAN network.
Finally select an encryption option for WLAN. We recommend selecting the "WPA2-PSK" protocol, which offers the highest security standard. If you have devices that only support "WPA", select both protocols.
Enter a WLAN password. It should consist of 8 characters and should include numbers as well as upper and lower case letters.
Finally click on the blue button below to save your selection. Once the changes have been applied, the setup is complete.
If the save button is greyed-out and you cannot click it, check the network cable between the "Internet LAN/Backhaul" port (8) and your modem. Refresh the configuration page and try again. Remember that the login password has already been saved.
If you have made the configuration via WLAN, you will now need to connect your device to the new WLAN network.
- Click the blue button to reload the page.
Adding a Mesh-Repeater
Place the Mesh-Repeater close to the Mesh-Router during setup, when you connect the Mesh-Repeater for the first time. Once configured, you can place it at your preferred location.
Adding the Mesh-Repeater from the 2-pack set
- If you have the 2-pack set, and one of the two devices is already working as Mesh-Router, the second device will automatically establish a connection as soon as you turn on the second device, because the two have been factory-paired.
Here, it also does not matter whether you will connect the Mesh-Repeater later wirelessly or via network cable.
- Turn on the repeater as described in Chapter "Connection and startup". The connection is established the moment the boot process finishes.
Adding a single Mesh-Repeater with the "Pair" button
- Turn on the new Mesh-Repeater and wait until the boot process has finished.
- Hold down the "Pair" button on the Mesh-Router for approx. 1 to 2 seconds and then release the button. The blue LED indicator begins to flash.
- Within the next 2 minutes, you have to press the "Pair" button on the new Mesh-Repeater and then release the button after approx. 1 to 2 seconds.
- Once the LED indicators are lit blue on both devices, the pairing process is complete.
Adding a single Mesh-Repeater to the Mesh-Router's web interface
- Turn on the new Mesh-Repeater and wait until the boot process has finished. The LED indicator should flash red.
- Open the router's configuration page and log in.
- Open the Mesh device list. To do this, click either in the Status page under List of devices on "More..." or at the bottom on "WiFi" and then in the list on the second item from the top.
- At the very bottom, enter a device name and then the MAC address of the new Mesh-Repeater. You find the address on the label attached to the underside of the device.
The MAC address is a unique 12-digit identifier made up of numbers and letters. Always enter a colon ":" as separator between every 2 digits (for example, 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC). It does not matter whether letters are in upper or lower case.
- When done, click the button to the right of the MAC address. As soon as the settings have been applied, the LED indicator is lit blue.
Connecting a Mesh-Repeater using a network cable
- If you are installing a Mesh-Repeater using a network cable, you first have to pair it with the Mesh-Router.
- Then connect the Mesh-Repeater "Internet LAN/Backhaul" port (8) with one of the LAN ports (7) of the Mesh-Router or any other already connected Mesh-Repeater.
→ The Mesh-Router automatically detects whether the repeater connection is wireless or wired.
You can easily change the connection type at any time, once the Mesh-Repeater (or possibly more) is paired with the Mesh-Router. If your devices are not using a wired connection, WLAN is used automatically. If a cable is used, the wired connection will be used automatically.
You can connect a new repeater to an existing and already connected repeater (to one of the two LAN ports) at any time.
"TouchLink" function
The Mesh-Router has a separate "MeshGo_XXXX_Touch" WLAN network. This is not encrypted, but inaccessible by default. It acts as a guest WLAN network for friends or acquaintances with only limited privileges.
- To temporarily enable network sharing, tap the "TouchLink" touch button (6) located on the top of the Mesh-Router.
The Mesh-Router LED starts flashing blue for 120 seconds. During that time, the device can now connect to the open WLAN network. - Connect the device of your choice to the WLAN network "MeshGo_XXXX_Touch".
- A new connection is no longer possible after 120 seconds have passed. Devices already connected can reconnect to this WLAN network at any time.
"TouchLink" configuration
- Click "WiFi" at the bottom of the Mesh-Router's web interface and then open the item "TouchLink" to configure the function on the configuration page.
- Here you can turn the function on or off using the slide button, you can configure the sharing time for the connection that will become active after you have clicked the button and you can change the WLAN SSID.
- You can also view a list with devices that are already connected and whether the connection is active.
- Mark the box next to a device to delete it.
- Click the blue button to save changes or to delete a device.
Positioning the Mesh-Repeaters
- You need to find an appropriate location for the repeater(s) after the connection is working.
- Try different locations and select the final location with the best connection to the Mesh-Router or an already installed Mesh-Repeater.
- Test the connection quality with your smartphone, for example, to make sure that the Mesh-Repeater is not located too far away from the next device. The WLAN icon should have at least 3 active bars.
→ Important! Once the repositioned WLAN repeater starts and the LED indicator is steady blue, the connection is good. If the indicator is lit red, then the connection is bad and insufficient. If that is the case, reposition the Mesh-Repeater.
If a Mesh-Repeater uses a wired connection, then the distance to the next device is not a major issue, of course.
Resetting to Factory Settings
Proceed as follows to reset the product to factory settings.
- Plug the power adapter output into the "DC IN" socket (2) of the product.
- Plug the power adapter into a mains socket.
- Use the slide switch (3) to turn the product on and wait until the boot process has finished.
- Hold down the "Reset" button (4) for more than 6 seconds. Then release the button.
- The product will restart with the factory settings. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
