Scenario 2: Set up as an add-on node
I Add the router to an existing network
Tips
• Please ensure that the router has never been used. If not, reset it first.
• Currently, RX27 Pro/TX27 Pro can be networked with the same model, Mesh6X,
Mesh12X, RX12 Pro, or TX12 Pro.
1. Place the router in an elevated and open position within 3 meters from your
existing node.
2. Use the power adapter to connect the router to a power source, and wait until
its LED indicator blinks green slowly.
3. Press the WPS button of the router for about 3 seconds. The LED indicator
blinks green fast. Within 2 minutes, press the MESH/WPS button of the node
of the existing network for 3 seconds to negotiate with this router.
When the LED indicator of the router lights solid green, the networking is
successful and the router becomes a secondary node in the network.
II Relocate the router
1. Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:
• Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
• Keep your nodes away from electronics with strong interference, such as
microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
• Place the nodes in a high position with few obstacles.
2. Power on the router again till the LED indicator blinks green slowly.
Tips
If the LED indicator of router keeps blinking green slowly for more than 3 minutes,
relocate the router and move it closer to the primary node.

3. Observe the LED indicator of the router until the LED indicator

the preceding steps to get an optimal connection quality.
