Add The Router To An Existing Network - Tenda Wi-Fi 7 Router Schnellinstallationsanleitung

Scenario 1: Set up the Device as a Router
I. Connect the Router
Tips
• If you use the modem for internet access, power off the modem first before
connecting the WAN port of the router to the LAN port of your modem and
power it on after the connection.
• Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:
− Place the router in a high position with few obstacles.
− Keep your router away from electronics with strong interference, such as
microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
− Keep your router away from metal barriers, such as weak current boxes,
and metal frames.
Power on the router.
Connect the WAN port of the router to the LAN port of your modem or the
Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable.
II. Connect the router to the internet
1. Connect your wireless client such as a smartphone to the Wi-Fi network of the router.
For the default Wi-Fi name (SSID), check the label on the device body. There is no
Wi-Fi password by default.
Tips
If Unsecured Network prompts on the page, ignore it.
For network security, the Wi-Fi password will be set in later setup.
2. The page will automatically redirect to the web UI of the router. If not, disable your
mobile data traffic, start a browser and visit tendawifi.com in the address bar.
3. Follow the onscreen setup wizard to connect the router to the internet.
Done. When the indicator is solid green, the network connection is successful.
This router supports IPv6, and the IPv6 is enabled by default. If your broadband service
supports IPv6, you can access the IPv6 network after setup.
To access the internet with:
• Wi-Fi-enabled devices: Connect to the new Wi-Fi network you set.
* As required by related laws and regulations, the device is performing Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS). Please connect to the Wi-Fi after about 90 seconds.
* Clients need to support 802.11be to experience the high speeds offered by Wi-Fi 7 routers.
• Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
Scenario 2: Set up as an add-on node
Tips
• This router can be networked with Tenda WiFi+ routers.
• Ensure that the existing router (primary node) has been connected to the
internet and the router (secondary node) to be added has never been used. If
not, reset this router first.
• Two RE6L Pro are used as an example here. If the router fails to be added to
an existing network, contact Tenda customer service for help.
I. Add the router to an existing network
1. Place the router in an elevated and open position within 3 meters from your existing
router.
2. Use the power adapter to connect the router to a power source.
3. Press the networking button of the router for about 1-3 seconds. The LED indicator
blinks green quickly. Within 2 minutes, press the networking button of the existing
router for 1-3 seconds to negotiate with this router. The LED indicator blinks green
quickly.
When the LED indicator of the router lights solid green, the networking is successful
and the router becomes a secondary node in the network.
II. Relocate the router
1. Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:
• Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
• Keep your routers away from electronics with strong interference, such as
microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
• Place the routers in a high position with few obstacles.
2. Power on the router again.
3. Wait 1-2 minutes and observe the LED indicator of the router. If the LED indicator is
solid green, the connection between the primary node and secondary node is good.
Otherwise, move the router (secondary node) closer to the existing router for better
connection quality.
Done.
To access the internet with:
- WiFi-enabled devices: Connect to your WiFi network. (The WiFi name and WiFi
password of the new router are the same as the existing router.)
* Clients need to support 802.11be to experience the high speeds offered by Wi-Fi 7 routers.
- Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
