      How to set up your Linksys Mesh Node

      A guide on how to set up your Mesh Node or add an additional node to your broadband

      Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to setting up your Linksys mesh node:

      1. Connect to your network: Make sure your phone is connected to the Connect Fibre network.

      2. Download the Linksys app: Install and log in to the Linksys app on your phone.

      3. Set up a new product: Scroll to the bottom of the app and tap 'Set up a new product.'

      4. Add another node: Select 'Add another node' and then choose "To extend my Wi-Fi with a new child node."

      5. Enable Bluetooth: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on for your device.

      6. Power on your mesh device: Follow the on-screen instructions to power on your mesh device. When it starts flashing purple, confirm in the app to continue (this may take a few minutes).

      7. App configuration: The app will automatically configure the node for you—just sit back and relax!

      8. Choose a location: Select where you want the mesh node to be located in your home.

      9. Move the node: Once set up, you can unplug the node and move it to the best spot. Ideally, place it about 2/3 of the way between your router and the area with weak Wi-Fi coverage.

      10. All done! You’re all set up and ready to go. If you need any help along the way, just give us a call!
