11 Mesh Function
11.1 Do different models of EW devices can mesh with each other?
Yes, all EW series routers can mesh with each other.
11.2 Can wired mesh switch to wireless mesh?
Yes, after wired mesh has been established successfully, it will automatically switch to wireless mesh if you
disconnect the network cable between routers.
11.3 The master device has been powered off, will the salve device
automatically connect to master when it is powered on again?
When the master device is powered off, the slave device will probe the master device uninterruptedly. When the
master device is powered on again, it will be detected by the slave and the slave will connect with the master
once again.
11.4 What should I do if it takes a long time for the salve to reconnect
to the master after the master has restarted?
Please check if the wireless channel of the master device is one of the following: CH52, CH56, CH60, CH64,
CH100, CH104, CH108, CH112, CH116, CH120, CH124, CH128, CH132, CH136, CH140, if so, please try to
change the wireless channel of the master device to other channels.
11.5 If the EW router works in repeater mode, can it still support the
Mesh function?
It doesn’t support the mesh function when working in repeater mode.
11.6 Why the SSID and channel cannot be changed on the slave device
after meshing successfully?
You cannot change the SSID and Channel on the slave device, but can change them on the Master device.
When the Master’s configuration changes, the Slave’s configuration will change accordingly.
11.7 What should I do if I fail to mesh?
(1) Please check the distance between the two devices. When establishing the mesh for the first time, the Slave
device should be within two meters of the Master device (unobstructed environment).
