3. Setup

3.1. Initial Setup of the Primary Mesh Router

1. Power On: Insert the power adapter into one mesh router unit and plug the other end into a power outlet. The LED indicator will turn solid red during startup, then flash yellow when ready for network connection.
2. Connect to Modem: Turn off your cable modem. Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to your modem and the other end to the WAN/LAN port of the mesh router. Turn on your cable modem and wait for it to fully start up.
3. Verify Connection: Wait for the mesh router's LED indicator to turn solid green, which signifies a normal network connection.

3.2. Setting Up with the MU-LINK App

1. Connect to Wi-Fi: Connect your smartphone or PC to the primary mesh router's Wi-Fi SSID. The default SSID and password are printed on the product label at the bottom of the unit.
2. Download App: Download and install the MU-LINK app from your device's app store.
3. Log In: Launch the app and log in using the credentials found on the product label.
4. Configure Settings: Within the app, you can view network status and customize settings such as Wi-Fi name, parental controls, guest network, and more.

3.3. Adding More Mesh Nodes

You can add additional mesh nodes using two methods:

Method 1: Via MU-LINK App

1. Power up the secondary mesh router(s). Wait for the secondary node's LED light to blink yellow.
2. The MU-LINK app will automatically detect the new device(s) for mesh networking. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the networking process sequentially. Do not attempt to network multiple devices simultaneously.
3. The LED turning solid green indicates a successful connection. If the LED does not turn solid green, reset the secondary node(s) and try again.

Method 2: One-Button Networking (Mesh Button)

1. Press the Mesh button on the already connected primary node. The green light will blink rapidly.
2. Within two minutes, press the Mesh button on the powered-up secondary node. The yellow light will blink rapidly.
3. Both devices will enter the automatic networking process. The LED turning solid green on both units indicates a successful connection.

3.4. Node Placement Suggestions

Optimal placement of mesh nodes is crucial for maximizing Wi-Fi coverage. Consider your house's layout when positioning the devices. The following diagrams provide general suggestions:

4.5. Advanced Network Protection

• WPA3-SAE Encryption: Safeguards your network against unauthorized access and cyber threats with enterprise-grade security.
• Isolated Guest Network: Create a separate Wi-Fi network for visitors, ensuring your main network and sensitive data remain protected.
• Parental Controls: Manage internet access for family members. Features include blocking harmful content, balancing screen time, and setting internet schedules.

5. Maintenance

• Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and install firmware updates via the MU-LINK app or web interface to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
• Cleaning: Keep the mesh units clean and free from dust to prevent overheating and maintain proper ventilation. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Placement: Ensure units are placed in well-ventilated areas, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and obstructions that could interfere with Wi-Fi signals.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Internet Connection (LED not solid green):
  • Ensure your modem is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected between the modem and the mesh router's WAN/LAN port.
  • Restart both your modem and the primary mesh router.
• Unable to Connect to Wi-Fi:
  • Check if the mesh router is powered on and its LED is solid green.
  • Confirm you are selecting the correct SSID and entering the correct password. The default SSID and password are on the product label.
  • Note on Default Password: Some units may have a default password of "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9" printed on the label, which should be used instead of "admin" if "admin" does not work.
• Slow Wi-Fi Speeds or Dropped Connections:
  • Relocate mesh nodes to optimize coverage, referring to the placement suggestions in Section 3.4.
  • Ensure there are no physical obstructions (thick walls, large metal objects) between your devices and the mesh nodes.
  • Reduce the number of active devices or bandwidth-intensive activities if experiencing consistent slowdowns.
  • Consider using Ethernet backhaul for critical devices or between mesh nodes for improved stability and speed.
• Secondary Node Not Connecting:
  • Ensure the secondary node's LED is flashing yellow before attempting to add it.
  • If using the app, ensure you are adding nodes sequentially.
  • If the LED does not turn solid green after attempting to add, reset the secondary node and try the process again.
