EasyMesh

On the Functions / Wi-Fi / EasyMesh page, you can enable the EasyMesh function. This
function is designed to quickly connect several devices into one transport network for providing
high-quality Wi-Fi coverage in living units of complicated planning or for creating a large
temporary Wi-Fi network for an outdoor event.
A mesh network consists of a main device (the Controller role) and subordinate devices (the Agent
role). 5 Devices connect to each other via wireless or wired connection. The Controller device
enables connection and configuration of other devices of the mesh network, controls the data flow
and the roaming of clients between devices in this network. Agents execute commands from the
Controller device and serve as Wi-Fi access points for subordinate devices.
To activate the EasyMesh function, in the Settings section, move the Enable switch to the right.
In the Device Role field, the current role of the device in the mesh network is displayed. To
configure DIR-822 as the main or subordinate device of the mesh network, go to the Setup
Wizard section (see the Setup Wizard section, page 45), from the Connection method list,
select the EasyMesh value. Then from the Device Role list, select the required value.
5 At present, you can connect up to 6 D-Link devices with EasyMesh support: 1 in the Controller role and 5 in the
Agent role.
