MeshPoint Overview

Installing the MeshPoints

For best performance, the MeshPoints should be placed in different directions between the Router and the areas farthest from the Router. Mesh multi-hop should only be used when necessary, as performance will degrade with each hop.

Plug the MeshPoint into a power outlet.
The MeshPoint will be in the Ready to Add state with the three middle LEDs flashing on and off.
Launch the app and follow the instructions for the router you are connecting to.
AmpliFi Router
Third-Party Router

Connect to an AmpliFi Router

If your AmpliFi Router is already up and running, once you launch the app, the new MeshPoint should be displayed. Tap Add to Network.
Edit the name of the MeshPoint if desired. Tap Continue.
After about a minute, the LEDs on the MeshPoint will reflect signal strength once connected to the Router. The Overview screen in the app will appear and show the MeshPoint connected.

Connect to a Third-Party Router

Select the device that needs to be configured (if more than one MeshPoint is being installed).
The app will display a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Select the network associated with your Router.
Enter the password associated with the wireless network and tap Continue. An audible tone will indicate successful configuration. After about a minute, the LEDs will reflect the signal strength once the MeshPoint is connected to the Router.

Adjusting the Antenna
The MeshPoint antenna can be adjusted to provide optimal signal coverage for your location.
