1. Overview
After being powered on and enabled with Mesh (see 3.19 for details), a Mesh-
capable new AP can be paired with other Mesh-capable wireless devices on the target
network through multiple ways. Then the AP will be synchronized its Wi-Fi configuration
with other devices automatically. Mesh networking addresses pain points such as
complex wireless networking and cabling. A new AP can be connected to any uplink
wireless device among AP, EG router, and EGW router in the following ways:
Button-based pairing: Short press the Mesh button on the EGW router on the target
network to implement fast pairing of the AP with the EGW router.
Search-based pairing: Log in to the Eweb of a device on the target network. Search
and add APs to be paired.
Wired pairing: Connect the new AP to a wireless device on the target network using an
Ethernet cable. The new AP will go online on the target network.
After pairing finishes, the new AP obtains the wireless backhaul information from
network-wide neighboring APs. Install the new AP as planned, and it will connect to the
optimal neighboring AP.
