1. Changing WiFi Name and/or Password

TouchLink is a patented feature which
allows you to broadcast a separate guest
network that is fully secure, but does not
need a password.
Instead, when TouchLink is enabled in
settings, you or your guest can press the
top of the Bearifi Edge Mesh AP unit and
the light will flash blue for 60 seconds.
During this period, your guest can join
the BearifiTouch network without needing
a password. When the light stops
flashing, this network becomes fully
secure and cannot be accessed. You can
change the flashing time in the settings if
you wish to allow a connection for a
shorter period time, such as only 20
seconds after the top is pressed.

Smart Connect is our AI based feature
that puts your devices on either the 2.4 or
5 GHz bands based on what it
determines will give your devices the
best performance.
2.4 Ghz is better for longer range
connections, while 5 GHz will give you
better performance and faster speeds
when closer. Conventional mesh devices
send out 2 separate WiFi signals, one for
2.4 GHz and one for 5 GHz. As you go to
different places in your home, you may
not be on the best band for best
performance.
Smart Connect decides what band will
give your device the best connectivity
and will automatically switch you over to
the 2.4 Ghz band if your 5 Ghz signal
gets weak.
There may be circumstances where you
want to broadcast a separate 2.4 and 5
Ghz network. To do this, you want to
follow these instructions to turn off Smart
Connect.

Reset needs to be done only on the Bearifi Edge Mesh AP (not the Satellites).
1. Using a pen or fine tip object, press and hold in the reset button underneath the power switch for 10 seconds until a green light comes on over each LAN
port. Then release the reset button.
2. Bearifi Edge Mesh AP will now restart. This takes about 60 seconds.
3. While waiting, turn off your computer's internal Wi-Fi card and turn it back on, or restart your computer or device
4. After 60 seconds, scan for the “Bearifi” WiFi network on your computer or device.
The Bearifi Edge Mesh AP will now be just like new with no password protection and is all ready for setup.
Satellite units generally do not need factory reset as they will be reset by the master process above, however if a Satellite is not still not working, follow these
same steps above on the Satellite to reset it.
If your Satellite is no longer recognized by your Bearifi Edge Mesh AP after factory reset (flashes red for more than 180 seconds after power up), you may
need to add your Satellite back to your Bearifi Edge Mesh AP device. First try powering the Satellite off and back on, and waiting three minutes. Then refer to
section 4 of this manual, “Adding a Satellite” to add the Satellite again.
