Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers (Ethernet backhaul)?
A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connection between AiMesh router and node to
maximize throughput and stability. AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for each frequency band
available, and then determines automatically whether a wireless or wired connection is best to serve as the inter-
router connection backbone.
1
Follow the setup steps to establish a connection between the AiMesh router and node via WiFi rst.
2
Place the node in the ideal locations for best coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the
AiMesh router to the WAN port of AiMesh node.
3
AiMesh system will auto-select the best path for data transmission, whether wired or wireless.
Q2:
THE BEST PERFORMANCE
Troubleshooting
If your AiMesh router cannot nd any AiMesh node nearby or synchronization fails, please check the following and try again.
