Tips for Mesh Network Setup
Set up TWO mesh devices with uplink RSSI larger than -65dBm.

Upgrade the firmware version of Mesh devices through Mesh link, starting from the mesh device with

less hop number. For example, upgrade the firmware from the root, hop1 Mesh Node then hop2 Mesh
Node, and so on.
VigorMesh network supports up to 3 hops of mesh devices. However, it is suggested to connect the

mesh group with less than or equals to 2 hops.
For your reference, we make a real mesh environment test and get the following record. (Use VigorAP
APP to do internet speed test with different hops mesh node.)
Internet Download Speed (for root and hop1 ~ hop3):
iPad connects to Root
iPad connects to hop1 Node
iPad connects to hop2 Node
iPad connects to hop3 Node
-55dBm)
It is not suggested to use a wireless Mesh Node with Ethernet cable connected to a Mesh Root.

If resetting a Mesh Root,

- All "connected" Mesh Nodes will be informed to reset.
- Group List and Group Key will be reset, too.
- For those Mesh Nodes unable to reset, reset them manually. Reset the Group List by web or
factory default.
If resetting a Mesh Node,

- Group List and Group Key will be cleared.
- Link Status will become "New".
Mesh network status also can be viewed and checked through the dashboard by clicking MESH

NETWORK.
If Mesh Search / Apply / Discover is worked too fast or is done with empty result, your request may be

rejected. Please try again.
Troubleshooting:

- Check the firmware version. Please make sure all APs within the mesh group are in the newest
firmware version.
