EasyMesh Configuration
This Chapter provides Setup details of the WiFi EasyMesh Router.
Configuration
User can configure WiFi EasyMesh Router through Web GUI on Router via WiFi or Ethernet
LAN interface.
In following example, we will show you how to configure WiFi EasyMesh function through
Ethernet LAN to deploy mesh network.
Change device role to be Controller
As all WiFi EasyMesh Routers are configured as Agent by default, therefore, before deploying
mesh network, user has to select one of WiFi EasyMesh Routers (we will called this device
“Controller”in later section) to play as Controller.
Below steps will guide you how to change device role to be Controller
Connect Ethernet Cable to LAN port of WiFi EasyMesh Router and the other side of cable
is connected to PC.
Login into Web GUI of WiFi EasyMesh Router via PC browser.
(IP address: http://192.168.1.1)
