Following are the steps to create a Mesh network;
1. Go to quick setup and set the main router as Mesh controller.
2. Power on the other Predator router and set it as Mesh Agent.
3. Place both routers close to each other.
There are two ways to onboard an
agent to a Mesh network.
I. Press the WPS button on both
devices for 2 seconds at the
same time.
II. Connect the agent to the controller
via LAN cable.
If the agent onboard to the controller
successfully, the LED will be
breathing blue, otherwise, the LED will
become solid red color.
Power off the agent device, move it
to some other place and then power
it ON. Then observe the agent’s LED
color. (Agent’s LED color shows
RSSI indication between controller
and agent.
The Blue
color means RSSI is good,
Green
color means RSSI is normal,
Orange
color means RSSI is poor,
Red
color means disconnected.
6.1.1 Mesh Topologies
Following are the mesh topologies:
•
Topology – One agent
•
Start topology – 3 agents
•
Daisy chain topology – 2 agents
•
Daisy chain topology – 3 agents
•
Tree topology – 3 agents
Topology – One Agent
In one agent topology, a controller is
connected with one agent, and the
medium between a controller and the
agent can be wireless or wired connectivity.
