Creating a Meshed Wi-Fi Network with UNA
A Wi-Fi meshed network setup consists of two or more Una adapters (also referred to as nodes).
Una meshed Wi-Fi adapters are designed to work in conjunction with your existing router, only
taking over your router's Wi-Fi duties.
The first step in setting up Una’s meshed Wi-Fi system is to connect one Una to your existing
Internet router using an Ethernet cable and plugging Una directly into an electrical outlet. Plug the
other Una’s into electrical outlets in areas of the home or remote buildings/workshops that require
better Wi-Fi coverage.
Pair Una’s to establish the Powerline backhaul network. Configure the new Wi-Fi SSID (wireless
network name) and password. Internet and Wi-Fi traffic now flows from the Internet router to the
attached Una and across the electrical power lines to the remote Una Wi-Fi adapters.
Similar to coax cable and telephone lines, the electrical power lines are also capable of
transmitting digital signals such as Voice, Video and Data.
Una mesh adapters are also equipped with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection, that's so you can
wire some devices to your network if you want to.
