clients and establishes a mesh path to the mesh root, which uses its wired interface to connect to the

MESH Configuration:
Out-of-box MESH: Out-of-box MESH is mainly used to improve the MESH deployment efficiency and
administrator only needs to specify the root MESH point, other leaf MESH point can automatically join the
MESH network without manual configuration. By default, Stellar AP with factory configuration powered up
without wired uplink will try to establish MESH link automatically with build-in configuration (MESH SSID
[Stellar-MESH] and password on 2.4G band).The out-of-box will be permanently disabled once the AP ever
connected to wired uplink and only reset to factory operation can bring the out-of-box function back. The
out-of-box MESH can be manually modified on band (Change from 2.4G to 5G) as well as passphrase
(Navigate: AP-UI -> Network -> AP Interface -> AP Interface Configuration), and it will return to factory
setting after reset operation.
Regular MESH: The MESH is configured on Stellar AP one after one by administrator manually. To configure
MESH for the Stellar AP working in EXPRESS mode, administrator needs to login separate AP-UI of APs
planned to enable MESH in the network and then perform the MESH configuration:
Navigate: AP-UI -> Network -> AP Interface -> AP Interface Configuration.
