• We recommend that you place the routers in an open or spacious location.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers and nodes (Ethernet
backhaul)?
A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless
and wired connection between an AiMesh router
and node to maximize throughput and stability.
AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength
for each frequency band available, and then
determines automatically whether a wireless or
wired connection is best to serve as the inter-router
connection backbone.
AiMesh system will auto-select the best
3
path for data transmission, whether wired
or wireless.
Follow the setup steps to establish a connection
1
between the AiMesh router and RP-AX56 via WiFi first.
Place the RP-AX56 in an ideal location for the best
2
coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of
the AiMesh router to the Ethernet backhaul port of RPAX56.
