Questions,

 

can POE be used to power the unit for the MESH

 

Process isnt exactly clear on how to setup a mesh- A guide of any kind will work

 

How many devices can put into a mesh, My count that I want to add is 5 devices.

 

The error I see when setting up the meshpoint one of the devices is “Mesh loop prevention off” all wired traffic is allowed.”

The designated Central AP for the meshpoint is now stuck in the boot loop after adding the 2nd AP to the Meshpoint to the radio’s.

 

Thanks in

Next Question for the root AP, do I put the SSID’s also on the radio’s?

Hello,

1 - 2 Meshed APs cannot be connected to the same wired network. This will create a loop. One AP should be connected to the network and the other should be completely segregated. 

2 - Yes you can power up meshed APs via POE

3 - Attached are some instructions on setting up mesh on APs. If some setting are no longer there, just ignore them. 

4 - If setting those up in the office/lab, make sure that they are a few feet apart and that the radio power is turned down to 1. Once mesh is established you can increase power prior to installing at final destination

5 - Make sure they are all running on the latest 7.x firmware
