How to install U4 & pair Mesh Router

Booting up U4 and Mesh

1. Connect Power Adapter, LED will start flashing BLUE. Device is Booting Up or it’s performing a Firmware Upgrade.

    • If the LED immediately flashes RED, boot-up has failed. Reboot or Factory Reset to re-initialize.

2. Connect Ethernet cable to WAN Port, LED will flash BLUE. Once device completes DHCP handshake, LED will be solid BLUE.

    • LED will eventually flash RED (after 40secs) when it didn’t detect a physical link or it didn’t receive an IP address.

3. Complete device registration.

 

Mesh Pairing

Hardwire Method

1. Simply connect an Ethernet cable to the Router LAN port and the other end to the Mesh WAN port.

    • LED will eventually stay BLUE indicating it’s paired with the u4 Router.

 

WPS/WiFi Method

1. On both units, press and hold the WPS for 5 seconds until LED flashes GREEN.

    • Doesn’t have to be simultaneously done. The two units have a 2-minute grace period to complete the WPS pairing process.
    • Missing this period will fail the pairing and will need to start process again.

2. The LED will flash in this order then completes the pairing process in about 2 minutes.

    • Flash GREEN – Paired
    • Flash RED – Reboot
    • Solid GREEN – Wi-Fi signal strength
    • Flash RED – Workflow completion
    • Solid GREEN – Wi-Fi signal strength
    • Solid BLUE – Fully connected

Mesh Unpairing

Using a pin, Press and Hold the reset button on the Mesh until the LED starts flashing RED. Letting go sooner would only cause the device to reboot.
