Configuring Mesh Settings

Complete the following steps to configure the Mesh settings.

  1. UI path for Unleashed
    From the main menu, select System Settings > Wireless > Mesh Settings.
  2. Select the Enable Mesh checkbox.
  3. Under Mesh Name (ESSID), enter a name for the Mesh network.
  4. Under Mesh Passphrase, enter a passphrase, or click Generate to generate a random Mesh passphrase.
  5. Under Mesh Radio Option, select 2.4GHz or 5GHz/6GHz.

Note: After you have enabled Mesh, you cannot disable it again without resetting the Master AP to factory defaults (refer to Restore to Factory Settings).
Note: If you enabled Mesh during the Setup Wizard process, you need not configure it again here.
Note: The Master AP cannot be a Mesh AP. The Master AP can only be a Root AP in a Mesh topology.
Note: 2.4-GHz and 6-GHz Mesh radios do not support Zero Touch Mesh.
