How to install the AirTies Home Pack with Smart Mesh

Safety Rules for AirTies Access Points

• Make sure the devices stand upright and do not cover up or otherwise block the holes, as they provide necessary ventilation.
• Avoid exposing the devices to heat sources such as stoves and direct sunlight.
• The devices should not be used at temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C. Humidity should be between 10 and 90%.

Installing the Home Pack

Before you begin, unwrap all the devices and make sure you remove all the protective plastic.

1. Connect one AirTies device to the house router with the enclosed Ethernet cable (white cable with yellow plug). You may have a separate router, or an IAD which is a multi-function device that includes router functionality. No matter how many different devices you have in your setup, the AirTies device should be connected to the router.
2. Connect all devices to power and turn them on.
3. The devices will now connect to each other automatically. This may take up to 3 minutes. The connection has been established when the connection LEDs stop blinking and light up in green on all devices,
   • If the 5 GHz LED does not light up in green with a short blink within three minutes, see light signals on the Air 4920.
   • If you have additional devices to be included in the network, follow the instructions in extending the AirTies Network with an additional device before you start distributing the devices in your home.
4. Turn off the Wi-Fi functionality in your router or IAD, and any repeaters or extenders you have been using in the past. This avoids creating unnecessary interference between networks.
   • Typically, you can do this by logging on to your router via the web.
   • In some cases, you'll need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get this done.
5. Distribute the devices so that you have coverage throughout the home:
   • For advice on positioning the devices for optimal coverage and performance, we recommend the Placement guide.
   • If you want more than one of the AirTies devices to have wired Internet access, see Setting up airties Ethernet mesh.

At any time, you can also extend your network with one or more additional devices
