Get your mesh network running in minutes
Setting up BetterWiFi is straightforward - just follow the steps for your router type below.
First, check that your router type is the White Icotera i4850 Router
Step 1: Connect with ethernet
- Place your mesh node next to your Icotera router
- Connect them with an ethernet cable (port 1 on both devices)
- Turn on your mesh node
**
Step 2: Watch the pairing process **
The mesh node lights will change as it connects:
- Flashing white: Starting up (wait 1-2 minutes)
- Flashing yellow: Getting network settings- trying to obtain IP address (should be quick)
- Solid blue: Successfully paired!
This takes 2-4 minutes. If you see other colours, the mesh node may be updating - just wait for it to finish.
**
Step 3: Find the perfect spot**
- Once paired, turn off your mesh node
- Move it to where you need better WiFi (halfway between router and problem area works well)
- Turn it back on and wait for a solid white light
- Press the WiFi button once if the light doesn't appear
**
Step 4: Check signal strength**
- Double-press the WiFi button on the side of your mesh node
- Check the light colour:
- Green: Perfect signal strength
- Blue: Good signal, move closer if possible
- Yellow: Acceptable for hard-to-reach areas
**
Step 5: Test your connection **
Go to the area where you had poor WiFi and test your internet on your phone or laptop. Enjoy your improved coverage!
