How to Add a Mesh Router to Your Cudy AX1800 System

Initial Setup and Preparation

• 💡 Ensure your main Cudy AX1800 router is already configured before proceeding.
• 💻 Connect to your Cudy network (e.g., Cudyrouter 5G) via a laptop or other device to access the configuration interface.
• 🔌 The configuration site is accessible by typing a specific address into your browser while connected to the Cudy network.

Adding a New Mesh Router

• ➕ To add a new mesh router, press the plus icon within the Cudy network configuration hub.
• 🔌 Power on the add-on mesh router and wait for its indicator light to turn solid red.
• 📌 The add-on router should be placed next to the device you are using for configuration (e.g., your laptop).

Pairing the Mesh Routers

• 🚀 Press the pair button on the add-on router, then click 'Next' on the configuration interface.
• ⚠️ The tutorial notes that you may need to press the pair button on both the add-on router and the original main router within 2 minutes of each other.
• 🔄 If pairing fails, you might need to hold the reset button for 5 seconds on the add-on router after powering it on.
• ✅ Once successfully paired, the configuration interface will indicate that you now have two mesh units.

Final Placement and Usage

• 🏠 After successful pairing, you can unplug the add-on mesh router and place it in another location to extend your Wi-Fi coverage.
• 🌐 Position the main unit and the add-on unit strategically to achieve whole-home Wi-Fi coverage.
