Environment:
• The Mesh Point needs air ow to keep cool. Do not block or cover the ventilation holes of the Mesh Point. Leave a gap of at least 10cm above and
around the Mesh Point to allow for adequate ventilation.
• Do not operate your Mesh Point in an unventilated cabinet or on top of another unit that emits heat, such as a TV or media player.
• Do not store the Mesh Point in hot, damp, dusty, or unusually cold locations.
• The Mesh Point is intended for indoor use and installation only.
Handling:
• Do not put anything on or over your Mesh Point which might drip or spill on it.
• Never place an open ame, such as from a lit candle, near the Mesh Point’ s ventilation holes.
Storage: Store your Mesh Point in a cool, dry place. Before installation and use, let the Mesh Point reach room temperature.

Connect your VAP4641 Wired Connection
Has your service provider informed you that your gateway is EasyMesh enabled? NO
1) Connect your rst VAP4641 Mesh Point to your current gateway using an Ethernet cable. Connect the
Mesh Point to power and switch to ON. The LED will blink fast, then blink slow, then turn to solid green.
This will take a couple of minutes. Now, you are ready to add addional Mesh Points to the network.
2) Pair the gateway and the Mesh Point: Push the WPS buon on the gateway, then
push the WPS buon on the Mesh Point. The LED on the Mesh Point ashes
green quickly when it has paired successfully with the gateway.
Connect your VAP4641 Wireless Connection
Has your service provider informed you that your gateway is EasyMesh Enabled? YES
1) Locate your rst VAP4641 Mesh Point approximately 5-15m from your gateway; if you have line-of-sight
they can be further apart, but move closer if there are thick walls between. Connect the Mesh Point to
power and switch to ON.
5-15m
2) Locate your second Mesh Point approximately 5-15m from your gateway; if you have line-of-sight
they can be further apart, but move closer if there are thick walls between.
3) Pair the units: Push the WPS buon on the rst Mesh Point, then push the WPS buon on the
second Mesh Point. Note: When adding addional Mesh Points, always push the buon on the rst
Mesh Point and then push the WPS buon on the Mesh Point you are adding.
4) The LED on the second Mesh Point ashes green quickly when the two units pair successfully.
5) The second Mesh Point will be automacally congured with the same Wi-Fi sengs as the rst
Mesh Point; this will take a few moments.
6) When conguraon is complete, the LED on the second Mesh Point will change color to
indicate the quality of the link between the rst and the second Mesh Points. See How to read
your Wireless Extender LEDs in this guide to understand the state the LED color indicates.
3) Next, the LED will change color to indicate the quality of the link between the gateway and the
Mesh Point. See How to read your Wireless Extender LEDs in this guide to understand the state
the LED color indicates.
4) To add addional Mesh Points, repeat steps 1-3. Addional Mesh Points are congured with the
same Wi-Fi sengs as the rst Mesh Point.
Use Wi-Fi WPS PBC
Connecng clients (oponal) You can connect to your network in two ways:
1) Use the Wi-Fi credenals used for your EasyMesh enabled gateway or the Wi-Fi credenals printed on
the rst Mesh Point connected to your gateway, or
2) Use the WPS buon on the front of the Mesh Point and the WPS Push-buon conguraon (PBC)
funconality on your device.
