3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Initial Setup of the Primary Mesh Router

1. Connect one of the mesh router units to your modem using the provided RJ45 Ethernet cable. Plug the Ethernet cable into one of the Gigabit ports on the mesh unit and the other end into your modem's LAN port.
2. Connect the power adapter to the mesh router unit and plug it into a power outlet.
3. Turn on your cable modem and wait for it to fully start up. If you do not use a modem for internet access, you may skip this step.
4. Wait for the indicator light on the primary mesh router to turn solid green. This indicates that the primary mesh router's network is operating normally.

3.2 Setting Up the Mesh System via MU-LINK App

1. Download and install the MU-LINK app on your smartphone.
2. Connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the primary mesh router. The default Wi-Fi name and password can be found on the label at the bottom of the unit.
3. Launch the MU-LINK app and follow the on-screen instructions to configure your network settings, including changing the default Wi-Fi name and password.

3.3 Adding More Mesh Nodes (Secondary Units)

You can add additional mesh nodes to expand your network coverage. There are two methods:

Method 1: Add via MU-LINK App (Recommended for multiple nodes)

1. Place the secondary mesh router unit in a desired location within the coverage area of the primary unit.
2. Connect the power adapter to the secondary unit and plug it into a power outlet.
3. Wait for the secondary node's indicator light to blink yellow.
4. Open the MU-LINK app on your smartphone. The app home page should show the number of devices that can be added. Follow the app's instructions to add the new node to your existing network.
5. Once successfully connected, the LED on the secondary unit will turn solid green. If it does not, reset the secondary node and try the process again.

Method 2: One-Button Networking via Mesh Button (For adding a single node)

1. On the connected primary mesh node, press the 'Mesh' button. The green light will blink rapidly.
2. On the powered-up secondary mesh node, press the 'Mesh' button. The yellow light will blink rapidly.
3. The two devices will automatically enter the networking process. Wait for the LED on the secondary unit to turn solid green, indicating a successful connection. If it does not, reset the secondary node and try the process again.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Firmware Updates

Regular firmware updates are crucial for maintaining optimal performance, security, and access to new features. The DBIT AX1800 Mesh System supports online firmware upgrades.

• Access the firmware update option through the MU-LINK app or the web GUI.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to check for and install available updates.
• Ensure a stable power supply during the update process to prevent interruptions.

5.2 Cleaning

To ensure proper ventilation and longevity of your mesh units, keep them clean and free from dust.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the units.
• Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays directly on the devices.
• Ensure ventilation openings are not obstructed.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DBIT AX1800 Mesh Wi-Fi System, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Internet Connection:
  • Check if your modem is working correctly.
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected between the primary mesh unit and the modem.
  • Restart both your modem and the primary mesh unit.
  • Verify your ISP settings in the MU-LINK app or web GUI.
• Weak Wi-Fi Signal/Dead Zones:
  • Relocate secondary mesh units closer to the primary unit or to a more central location.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (thick walls, large metal objects) between mesh units.
  • Add additional mesh nodes if your coverage area is larger than 4,000 sq. ft.
• Devices Disconnecting Frequently:
  • Ensure your mesh units are running the latest firmware.
  • Check for interference from other electronic devices.
  • Reset the problematic device's network settings and reconnect to the mesh Wi-Fi.
• Cannot Access MU-LINK App/Web GUI:
  • Ensure your device is connected to the mesh Wi-Fi network.
  • Verify the IP address for the web GUI (usually printed on the unit's label or found in the Quick Installation Guide).
  • Try restarting the primary mesh unit.
• Resetting the System: If all else fails, you can perform a factory reset. Locate the reset button (often a small pinhole) on the back or bottom of the mesh unit. Press and hold it for about 10 seconds until the indicator lights change, then release. Note: This will erase all your custom settings, and you will need to set up the system again.
