MPro Mesh Network Scenarios
Scenario 1: With MPro Mesh Router
This scenario applies if you have a Zyxel router that supports MPro Mesh. If not, refer to Network Scenario 2.
- Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the Zyxel Device LAN port to the MPro Mesh Router LAN port. Wait until the POWER and LINK LEDs are steady green.
- Unplug the Ethernet and power cable from the Zyxel Device.
- Place the Zyxel Device where you want to extend your wireless network.
- Plug in the power adapter. Ensure the LINK LED is steady green. If the LINK LED is red, move the Zyxel Device closer to the MPro Mesh Router.
- To add more extenders, repeat from step 1.
Scenario 2: With Non-MPro Mesh Router and Two Zyxel Devices
This scenario applies if you have a non-MPro Mesh router and want to use two Zyxel Devices as extenders.
- Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the first Zyxel Device (Zyxel Device-1) LAN port to the Non-MPro Mesh Router LAN port. Wait until the POWER and LINK LEDs are steady green.
- Use another Ethernet cable to connect the second Zyxel Device (Zyxel Device-2) LAN port to the first Zyxel Device (Zyxel Device-1) LAN port. Wait until the POWER and LINK LEDs on Zyxel Device-2 are steady green.
- Unplug the Ethernet and power cable from the Zyxel Device-2.
- Place the Zyxel Device-2 where you want to extend your wireless network.
- Plug in the power adapter. Ensure the LINK LED is steady green. If the LINK LED is red, move the Zyxel Device-2 closer to the Zyxel Device-1.
- To add more extenders, repeat from step 2.
- Note: Do not unplug the Ethernet cable connecting the Zyxel Device-1 and Non-MPro Mesh Router in this scenario.
