AirTies Mesh Technology resolves weak wireless signal and
coverage area problems often encountered in multi-story concrete
buildings. To extend wireless coverage area, it is necessary to use
AirTies access point devices functioning in repeater mode. The
access points function as repeaters and communicate with each
other via a special protocol that maintains the signal strength over
long distances and through barriers such as concrete walls.
Computers connect to all devices through the Mesh Network. This
way, the wireless coverage area can be extended to the maximum
while any signal strength problems through barriers are resolved.
The following steps will help you set up a Mesh Network with your
modem:
Important:
a. Your modem and repeaters must all operate on the same
channel. Therefore, it is recommended you to use channels 1, 6
or 11.
b. Your modem and repeaters must also all operate at the same
security level.
c. The signal level received at the location of the repeaters must
not be below medium.
d. Repeaters must be in DHCP client mode and your modem must
be in DHCP server mode. You can check this in the LAN menu
of the web interface.
e. In the following example, the SSIDs are called Floor_1, Floor_2
and Floor_3. This type of naming system has been used to help
your understand the procedure. But in practice we recommend
you use the same name for all SSIDs. For example, if they are
all called AirTies, users can automatically connect to the device
with the best signal strength.
Step One (Configuring the Modem):
1. Enter the Wireless Settings section of the WIRELESS main menu
in the device's web interface. Change the SSID name to
Floor_1. Enter the channel that the mesh network will use in the
Channel field. We recommended you use 1, 6 or 11. While the
Mesh Network is set up manually, the AirTouch box must not be
checked. Save your settings by clicking Save.
Step Two (Configuring the Repeater on Floor_2):
1. Enter the Wireless Settings section of the WIRELESS main menu
in the device's web interface. Change the SSID name to
Floor_2. Enter the channel that the mesh network will use in the
Channel field. The AirTouch box must not be checked. Save
your settings by clicking Save.
