WPS Pressed, Pairing Attempt has Begun
 For Satellite/Mesh mode, upon pressing the WPS a single time 3+ seconds, WPS is enabled.
 The LED bar begins to flash 0.5 second green/off and continues to do so for up to 120
seconds.

If the Gateway has also initialized WPS during this time, the Satellite can be paired to the
Gateway Wi-Fi radios (5.0 GHz band) thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID.

Display Signal Strength (Positioning Strength)
Display strength after any of the following conditions (IP address obtained):
1. Successful pairing completed
2. Re-start completed (and previous pairing with Gateway restored)
3. Re-association of link with the Gateway after lost link (e.g., Gateway was powered down
then restored)
 If the pairing is successful, following will be the behavior of the WPS/Strength LED:
 If the Satellite is too close from Gateway but still connected, LED will light up fast blinking
green (250 msec).
 * If the Satellite is too far from Gateway but still connected, LED will light up slow blinking
green (1000 msec).
 * When the Satellite is at an ideal location from Gateway the LED will light up steady green.

* After 60 seconds, the light bar begins to reflect Gateway status (not shown in the illustration
below). For example, cyan for connected to the Internet
Gray and Green
Too Close: Fast Blink (250
msec)
Too Far: Slow Blink (1000
