GWN7602 User Manual
Version 1.0.3.4
Note: If there are other GWN APs broadcasting in the same field with different subnet, RE may be
wirelessly connected to those networks and cannot be discovered and paired by your Master.
Therefore, it is recommended to use the first method of wired pairing and then deploy those REs.
3. After that, all slave access points have been deployed and paired to the master, you can directly
manage them to operate the mesh network. Mesh service configuration is the same as transitional
GWN WLAN.
4. Log into the master page, and under Access Points page you can see the information, for example
the AP in the “Online Wireless” state is the RE (Range Extender) with a wireless uplink to the
CAP. The APs showing “Online” state are either a wired master or CAP.
