To complete your mesh network configuration, connect subordinate devices to the main device.
Connecting Subordinate Devices with Ethernet Cable
To connect a subordinate device with an Ethernet cable, follow the next steps:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between any of the LAN ports of the main and subordinate
device.
2. Wait for about 4 minutes for the subordinate device to receive all mesh network settings and
web-based interface password from the main device.
3. Make sure that the connection is established. To do this, in the web-based interface of the
main device, on the Wi-Fi / EasyMesh page, in the Network topology section, check
the information on the connected devices.
Connecting Subordinate Devices with Hardware Button
To connect a subordinate device with the hardware WPS button, follow the next steps:
1. Simultaneously press the hardware WPS button on the cover of the main and the
subordinate device (or two subordinate devices, if one of them has previously been
connected to the mesh network), hold it for 2 seconds, and release.
!
Do not press the button on more than two devices simultaneously. When Agent devices
with factory defaults connect to the mesh network via the hardware button, the 5 GHz
backhaul band should be selected on the main device.
2. The WPS LED of DIR-822 should start blinking. Wait for about 4 minutes for the
subordinate device to receive all mesh network settings and web-based interface password
from the main device.
