How to create a Mesh network To create a mesh network, set X7 as a Mesh controller (A) and set another router (for example: Acer Connect T7) as a Mesh agent (B). Please note that the X7 can only be set as a Mesh controller.
Power off the agent device, move it to another place, and then power ON. Then observe the agent’s LED color. Agent’s LED color shows RSSI indication between a controller and agent. The Blue color means RSSI is good, Green color means RSSI is normal, Orange color means RSSI is poor, color means disconnected.
