7 Mesh
7.1 Overview
Currently, this router can be used as the primary node to network with devices that support the Tenda
Mesh protocol.
The router support Mesh networking. Mesh networking has such advantages as automatic
networking, self-repair, multi-skip cascade, unified management network, node self-management,
which can greatly reduce the cost and complexity of network deployment.
The router supports the following three Mesh networking modes. You can choose the Mesh
networking mode as required.
MESH button networking
The networking button (MESH/RST) on the router body can be used to network with other routers
without entering the management page.
Wired networking
Connect the LAN port (such as LAN or WAN/LAN) of an existed router to a new router through an
Ethernet cable for automatic networking. The wired network has good stability and small delay. If
Ethernet cables have been deployed at home, you can use this mode.
Scanning networking
Manually add other routers to the network of the existing router through the scanning networking
of the router’s web UI.
7.2 Set up as an add-on node
This section describes how to add a new router to extend the Wi-Fi network coverage when a
router is connected to the internet.
If you are using the router for the first time or have restored the router to factory settings, follow
