Mesh Network Main Device (Controller)

In order to configure DIR-822 as a main device of your mesh network, from the Connection
method list, select the EasyMesh value. Then from the Device role list, select the Controller
value. From the Backhaul band list, select the band where your mesh network operates.
!
The EasyMesh function cannot operate in both bands simultaneously. Select one of the
bands ( 2.4GHz or 5GHz ) for all devices of the configured network.
You can connect Agent devices with factory defaults to the main mesh network device via the
hardware WPS button. To do this, on the main device, in the Backhaul band drop-down list,
select the 5 GHz option and complete the configuration of the main device via the Wizard. Then
press the hardware WPS button on both devices, hold it for 2 seconds, and release. Wait for about 4
minutes for the subordinate device to receive all mesh network settings and web-based interface
password from the main device.
In order to connect your main device to a wired ISP, from the Work mode list, select the Router
value. In this mode you can configure a WAN connection, set your own settings for the wireless
network in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, configure LAN ports to connect an STB or VoIP phone,
and set your own password for access to the web-based interface of the device.
