Note 1: Ensure devices are powered up and connected according to the topology. A DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to APs and clients.
Note 2: If your router is a Cudy mesh WiFi router (firmware version 1.15.28 or later), the AP will automatically function as an add-on mesh unit, sharing the same WiFi network name and password.
- Connect wirelessly using the default SSID printed on the bottom label of the product.
