change the operation mode through web UI.
③
Bridge/RST
Used to bridge two devices or reset the device.
To bridge two devices:
1. Press and hold this button for 3~7 seconds on an O6 that works in AP
mode. When you release the button, LED1/LED2/LED3 starts blinking.
2. Within two minutes, press and hold this button for 3~7 seconds on
another O6 that works in Station mode. When you release the button,
LED1/LED2/LED3 starts blinking and the two devices start to bridge.
