AirTies Mesh Technology® helps resolve problems such as weak or lost signal, and limited
signal range that is commonly seen in concrete buildings.
The Mesh Network consists of a wireless AirTies router and multiple AirTies AP-400 devices.
The AP-400's set to function as repeaters communicate with each other and the wireless
AirTies router via the Mesh protocol.
The wireless computers connect to the AP-400 closest to them automatically. They reach
the AirTies router via the other AP-400's in between. In this manner, wireless coverage
area can be expanded significantly.
When you select Repeater as the "Operation Mode", the "Repeater Settings" page will
come up. From then on, this title will also appear under the "Wireless Settings" menu of
the web user interface.
In the "Repeater Settings" page, you will find a list of available access points and repeaters
the AP-400 can connect to.
Check the box to the left of the access point / repeater you would like the AP-400 to
connect to. The access point will appear in the list below, titled "Access Points to Connect
to". Click "Save" to complete the Repeater Settings
Important: The repeaters and the access point must all be operating on the same channel
to form a Mesh Network. They should also have a transmit power of at least -70dBm. (In
the above example, -49dBm satisfies this requirement).
You need to configure the access point that will form a Mesh Network with the AP-400
the same way as the AP-400. For example, to setup a Mesh Network between an RT-211
and an AP-400, the Mesh settings should be done the same way on both devices. The
screenshot below shows the RT-211 Mesh setup screen.
