Connect your VAP4641 Wired Connection
Has your service provider informed you that your gateway is EasyMesh enabled? NO
1) Connect your first VAP4641 Mesh Point to your current gateway using an Ethernet cable. Connect the
Mesh Point to power and switch to ON. The LED will blink fast, then blink slow, then turn to solid green.
This will take a couple of minutes. Now, you are ready to add additional Mesh Points to the network.
2) Locate your second Mesh Point approximately 5-15m from your gateway; if you have line-of-sight
they can be further apart, but move closer if there are thick walls between.
3) Pair the units: Push the WPS button on the first Mesh Point, then push the WPS button on the
second Mesh Point. Note: When adding additional Mesh Points, always push the button on the first
Mesh Point and then push the WPS button on the Mesh Point you are adding.
4) The LED on the second Mesh Point flashes green quickly when the two units pair successfully.
5) The second Mesh Point will be automatically configured with the same Wi-Fi settings as the first
Mesh Point; this will take a few moments.
6) When configuration is complete, the LED on the second Mesh Point will change color to
indicate the quality of the link between the first and the second Mesh Points. See How to read
your Wireless Extender LEDs in this guide to understand the state the LED color indicates.
Connecting clients (optional)
You can connect to your network in two ways:
1) Use the Wi-Fi credentials used for your EasyMesh enabled gateway or the Wi-Fi credentials printed on
the first Mesh Point connected to your gateway, or
