How to set up as an add-on node of Tenda router?
This section introduces how to add the router to an existing networking using the WPS button.
Please ensure that the router has never been used. If not, reset it first.
Currently, RX27 Pro/TX27 Pro can be networked with the same model, Mesh6X, Mesh12X, RX12 Pro, or TX12 Pro.
1 Place the router in an elevated and open position within 3 meters from your existing node.
2 Use the power adapter to connect the router to a power source, and wait until its LED indicator blinks green slowly.
3 Press the WPS button of the router for about 3 seconds. The LED indicator blinks green fast. Within 2 minutes, press the MESH/WPS button of the node of the existing network for 3 seconds to negotiate with this router. When the LED indicator of the router lights solid green, the networking is successful and the router becomes a secondary node in the network.
4 Relocate the secondary nodes to a proper position.
TIP:
- Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
- Keep your nodes away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
- Place the nodes in a high position with few obstacles.
5 Power on the secondary nodes again. Wait until these LED indicators blink green slowly.
6 Observe the LED indicators of the secondary nodes until the LED indicators light one of the following colors:
If any secondary node's LED indicator lights solid red, relocate it by repeating point 4 to 6.
Now you can access the internet with:
- Wired devices: Connect to the LAN ports of your nodes
- Wireless devices: Connect to your Wi-Fi network using the Wi-Fi name and password you set (All nodes share the same Wi-Fi name and password.)
