About the Router
Living in an era where wireless technology is of key importance and with the
introduction of fibre network, people are bombarded with different router
alternatives that aim to give the best. One has to find a router that accommodates
not only to the consistent growth in wireless devices one has at home but also to
meet the fast and reliable performance of a fibre optic cable connection. One of
the major challenges a router should be able to support is not only to distribute the
internet connection to a variety of devices but also to provide a seamless
connectivity with an exceptional Wi-Fi speed to match as well as excellent
coverage that will allow one to roam around their premises without getting
disconnected. And not forgetting to provide a gateway to the fibre network. With
careful consideration to these ever growing needs, Aztech developed the AIR-706P,
a Dual Band Wireless-AC 1900Mbps Gigabit Router, a device that equips your home
further with wireless flexibility, offers extreme wireless transfers rates and an ultimate
wireless performance and designed to cater for Fibre-to-the-Home(FTTH)
technology.
Your Internet Connection’s Capable Partner
Innovated and specifically customized for fast internet connections, the AIR706P is designed with a Gigabit WAN port flexibly built for Fibre-to-the-Home
(FTTH) via ONT or Cable Modem connections.

Equipping your home further with wireless flexibility, the Aztech AIR-706P has a
concurrent dual band wireless feature which enables its users to use (1) the
2.4GHz frequency band that provides wireless speeds of up to 600Mbps
(Turbo QAM), and / or (2) the faster 5.0GHz frequency band which offers
astounding wireless speeds of up to 1300Mbps - simultaneously. It also
supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless standard (Up to 1900Mbps).
Four Gigabit Ports for Faster File Sharing
Transfer and share files between the computers on your network that have
gigabit ports in an even faster speed.

USB 3.0 Ports for Enhanced User Experience
Equipped with two (2) USB 3.0 ports, customers may now enjoy a faster
method of sharing a connected storage’s files throughout the network.
Connect Easily using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Instead of connecting conventionally to your wireless network, the AIR-706P’s
WPS support enables users to easily connect their wireless devices to the
gateway with a simple press of the WPS button
Unique Value Added Features:
AON Mesh for Seamless Roaming
This feature allows AIR-706P to provide ultra-fast wireless speed with seamless
roaming and using only one password and a single Wi-Fi network name. It
delivers improved coverage and to provide a spectral blanket spread
eliminating the usual ―hard-to-get‖ areas such as blind spots.
Beamforming Technology
Allows the Aztech AIR-706P track devices and focus its wireless signals directly
to the devices that need it, disregarding wireless interferences (e.g. thick
walls, other wireless devices etc.) and dramatically improving wireless speed
and wireless performance
Aztech Smart Network App
This App allows user to configure the router. It is auto-adaptive and it features
Wi-Fi Connect Alert, Wi-Fi Radar, and Parental Control. It supports both
Android and IOS and is downloadable through Google Play Store and Apple
App Store.

Plan your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a network
diagram to help identify your network devices and plan out how to connect these
devices.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
Ethernet 1 – Set-top Box
Ethernet 2 – Game Console
Ethernet 3 – Desktop Computer
Ethernet 4 – Dad’s Computer
Ethernet WAN – ONT
To create a network diagram:
For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
network
For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.

When in Mesh, the Web User Interface will consist a new menu, the Mesh Network.
Features such as Wireless in Basic and Advanced will not be available when in Mesh.
There are two types Web User Interface you can access when in mesh. These are;
Mesh Controller
Mesh Node
Mesh Controller
In the Mesh Controller Web User Interface, it allows you to see the connected nodes
to your main AIR-706P router through the Mesh Network tab. Just like in the stand-
alone router’s Basic page, you will have access in the Internet, Guest Access,
Parental Control and USB menus.
Mesh Network
Under Mesh Network, it allows you to see the connected Nodes and configure the
Mesh SSID, Password and Channel of the Mesh Network. Any changes in these
configurations will propagate to the nodes.
Mesh Node
You will be able to see the Mesh Node’s IP address in the Controller’s Web User
Interface in DHCP Client via Advanced page. When you access the Mesh Node’s
Web User Interface, menu’s such as Mesh Network, Guest Access , Parental Control
and DHCP Client are not accessible. You will still be able to use DLNA and Torrent
features when accessing the Mesh Nodes.
Mesh System Setup
You will be able to set your Mesh System with your existing AIR-706P and Aztech
Mesh ready devices. You need to have an existing AIR-706P with internet access.
Setting up your Mesh System
Your secondary Aztech Mesh ready router will be your mesh node. It does not need
any initial setup. The SSID your mesh system will follow is the SSID of your 5.0 GHz
network. (This is provided if your Smart AP Steering is off)
To set up your Mesh System;
1. Position your mesh node near the existing AIR-706P router and plug the
power adapter to the mains.
2. Press and hold the WPS button of the existing AIR-706P until the LED
starts to blink.
3. Press and hold the WPS button of the mesh node until the LED starts to
blink.
4. Wait for 2 minutes for the blinking to stop.
5. After 20 to 30 seconds, AON LED at the node turns GREEN.
6. After another 10 seconds, the AON LED of the controller turned GREEN
7. When the AON LED on both the controller and mesh node is GREEN
pairing and link is successful and up.
8. The whole pairing process takes up to 4 minutes.
NOTE:
1. If you do not see the Mesh Controller status on your main router’s Web User
Interface, it means that your mesh pairing is unsuccessful.
2. Any changes in the configuration will result to your 2.4 GHz SSID to follow your
Mesh Network SSID.
Adding More Mesh Nodes
You may add up to two more mesh nodes to your mesh system. This will help
increase the coverage of your wireless range capacity as well as you will be able to
roam without disconnection.
To add more mesh nodes;
1. Position your mesh node near the existing AIR-706P router and plug the
power adapter to the mains.
2. Press and hold the WPS button of the existing AIR-706P until the LED
starts to blink.
3. Press and hold the WPS button of the new mesh node until the LED
starts to blink.
4. Wait for 2 minutes for the blinking to stop.
At this point, the AON LED of your Controller and existing node
will turn blinking red.
5. After 20 to 30 seconds, AON LED at the new mesh node turns GREEN.
6. After another 10 seconds, the AON LED of the controller and the
existing node will turn GREEN
7. When the AON LED on both the controller and mesh node is GREEN
pairing is successful.
8. Once all the AON LED on the controller and the mesh nodes is GREEN,
the mesh link is up.
9. The whole pairing process takes up to 4 minutes.
