or any Wi-Fi extender in the EasyMesh network.
Note: On some Internet gateways you may have to press and hold the WPS
buon for a few seconds or unl its WPS LED starts blinking.
3 During EasyMesh onboarding the Status LED on the OWM7111 goes through
(one or more of) the following states:
 Flashing green & yellow (1 second each): EasyMesh onboarding started
and ongoing.
 Flashing green (3 seconds) & yellow (1 seconds): EasyMesh network was
found but upstream onboarding ongoing or failing.
 Flashing green (1 second) & yellow (3 seconds): No EasyMesh network was
found.
Once the Wi-Fi connecon is successfully established it will turn solid green,
yellow or red.
Note: If the Status LED is blinking red, go to “5.5. What to do when the Status
LED is blinking red?” for further instrucons.
5.4. Pairing Wi‑Fi devices to your OWM7111
Connecting your Wi-Fi devices using WPS
1 Briey press the WPS buon on the
OWM7111. The WiFi LED on the
OWM7111 starts blinking green.
2 Within two minutes, start WPS on your
Wi-Fi device. If your Wi-Fi device is:
 Another Wi-Fi extender, briey press
its WPS buon.
 Another type of device, consult the documentaon of your device.
3 Aer some me the WiFi LED on the OWM7111 turns back to its previous
solid state (green, yellow or red). The Wi-Fi connecon is now successfully
established.
Note: If the WiFi LED is blinking red, go to “5.5. What to do when the Status
LED is blinking red?” for further instrucons.
5.5. What to do when the Status LED is blinking red?
This indicates that the OWM7111 could not establish a Wi-Fi connecon
through WPS.
Do the following:
1 Wait unl the red blinking LED goes out, then try using WPS again.
2 Turn your OWM7111 slightly and then try again.
RESET
WPS
3 Obstrucons may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number
of walls between the two devices and then try again.
4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.
If the WiFi LED of your OWM7111 is ashing green, your OWM7111 is
updang its soware. In this case, wait unl the LED becomes slowly blinking
yellow, or solid green, yellow or red. This can take several minutes! Do not
power o your gateway or unplug any cables!
5.6. Optimizing the link quality
Tips
To achieve opmal link quality:
• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your
Wi-Fi devices to a minimum.
• Do not place your Wi-Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause
interfence (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).
• Use Wi-Fi devices that support and use (mulple) 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
Status LED
If the OWM7111 has a Wi-Fi connecon to an Internet gateway, extender or
repeater (with or without EasyMesh), the Status LED will provide informaon
about the quality of the link between them.
If the Status LED is:
• Solid green: then the link quality is opmal. No further acons are needed.
• Solid yellow: then the link quality is fair, but not opmal. Change the posion
of the OWM7111 unl the LED turns green.
• Solid red: then the link quality is bad. Change the posion of the OWM7111
unl the LED turns green or at least orange.
Repositioning the OWM7111 for better link quality
First try to improve the link quality without unplugging the power supply:
1 Reposion the OWM7111 to avoid obstacles, like walls, furniture and TV
screens, between the OWM7111 and your access point.
2 Wait 15 seconds to allow the OWM7111 to re-evaluate the link quality.
If the link quality did not improve:
3 Unplug the power supply and move the OWM7111 closer to your access
point, or to a place with less obstacles between the OWM7111 and your
access point.
4 Plug in the power supply and wait two minutes to allow the OWM7111 to
start up all services and evaluate the link quality.
