If you
haven’t changed any settings after the installation, the Wi-Fi network name and
password of your Mesh network is same as of the Mesh Home Kit 1610 unit that is
connected to your router/modem by an Ethernet cable and printed on the product
label on the bottom of the product. Alternatively, you can find the Wi-Fi
network name and password of your Mesh network in the Quick Installation Guide
of your original Mesh Home Kit 1610.
All of the
Mesh Home Kit 1610 units are identical. There is no master and slave
configuration and you can connect any of them to your modem/router and any of
them to your devices with an Ethernet port.
Do not place the second unit too far away or too close (minimum 3 meters). Make sure that there are maximum two walls or one floor between the Mesh Home Kit 1610 units.
Take advantage of openings that can provide an unobstructed path between units (corridors, stair cases, doors, atriums, kitchen pass through windows, etc.).
If the Mesh Home Kit 1610 units have one or more walls in between, then align them vertically and horizontally as much as possible.
Position the Mesh Home Kit 1610 units so that the 5 GHz LED is solid green 3 minutes after being turned on. If the 5 GHz LED is red (solid or blinking), then the unit must to be positioned closer to another unit that has a solid green 5 GHz LED.
Mesh Home
Kit 1610 unit scans the air to determine the best available Wi-Fi channel (to
avoid interference) to use in a Mesh network after it is powered on. Also, Mesh
Home Kit 1610 uses 5 GHz Wi-Fi band and it is compatible to IEEE 802.11ac with
an advantage of using UNII-2 (Ch.52-64) and UNII-2-Extended (Ch.100-112) bands
(known as DFS channels) in priority. According to the radio communication
regulations, Mesh Home Kit 1610 Add-on runs a radar scan before it gets started
to service on DFS channels. These operations take approximately 3 minutes
before the Mesh Home Kit 1610 Add-on starts to service and to be fully
operational.
Pairing
attempt failed. Make sure the additional unit is near a unit with a green 5 GHz

as an existing operational Mesh unit. After a successful pairing, you can move
the additional Mesh Home Kit 1610 Add-on unit to another area.
