Installation Steps

1. Download and install X-Link APP

Scan the QR code [QR Code for X-Link APP] provided on the box or search for "X-Link" in your mobile app market or App Store. Download and install the APP on your mobile phone.

2. Install the primary node

Take out one node device. Connect one end of the network cable to your Modem or broadband network port, and the other end to the WAN/LAN port of the node.

Turn on the power. The LED indicator will initially be solid red. After approximately 80 seconds, it will flash red, and then change to solid green, indicating it is ready.

Network Connection Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the connection from an Internet source to a Modem, which then connects via an Ethernet cable to the WAN/LAN port of the Mesh Router. The router is also shown connecting to a computer and wirelessly to other devices.

3. Install the secondary node

Take out another node and place it in a suitable position. Follow these suggestions for optimal placement:

Ensure no more than two walls are between the primary and secondary nodes.
Maintain a maximum distance of 20 meters between nodes.
Keep nodes away from interference sources like microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
Place nodes higher from the ground with fewer obstructions around them.

Continue to observe the LED indicator on the secondary node until it changes from flashing green to solid green.

If the LED indicator does not turn solid green, re-select a more suitable placement position to achieve the best connection quality.

Placement Suggestion Diagram Description: A visual illustration shows a house layout with two mesh nodes placed in different rooms. It indicates optimal placement by showing the primary node connected to the modem and the secondary node placed in another room, with lines suggesting signal paths and potential wall obstructions.

Connection Types:

Wired Device Internet Access: Connect wired devices to the WAN/LAN ports of any node.
Wireless Device Internet Access: Connect wireless devices to the network name (SSID) indicated on the sticker at the bottom of the nodes. By default, the wireless name and password are the same for all nodes.

LED Indicator Status Description

When the power is turned on, the LED indicator will be solid red for about 80 seconds, indicating the node's system is starting up. After the startup is complete, the LED indicator status is as follows:

Node	State	Description
Primary	Solid green	Successfully connected to the Internet
	Flashing red	Connecting to the Internet
	Flashing green	Connecting to the secondary node
Secondary	Solid green	Successfully connected to primary node and signal quality is good
	Flashing green	Connecting to primary node
	Flashing red	Failed to connect to primary node
	Solid blue	Successfully connected to primary node but signal quality is bad

FAQ

Q1: The device connected to the node cannot access the Internet?

A1: First, check if the LED indicator of the primary node is solid green. If not, verify that the node's Internet access mode is set correctly. If it is correct, contact your network operator to confirm your home network is normal. Secondly, check if the secondary node's LED indicator is solid green. If not, try relocating the node to a more suitable place.

Q2: How to add a new node?

A2: Press the Mesh button on the primary or secondary node, then press the Mesh button on the new node. If the addition is successful, the LED indicators of both nodes will change from flashing green to solid green.

Q3: How to restore the factory settings of the node?

A3: While the nodes are running, press and hold the reset button of the primary node with a pointed object for approximately 5 seconds. Release the button when the LED indicator turns off.
