Brsk Legacy - How do I set up BetterWiFi for my Icotera router?

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
  1. Place your mesh node next to your Icotera router
  2. Connect them with an ethernet cable (port 1 on both devices)
  3. 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**

  1. Once paired, turn off your mesh node
  2. Move it to where you need better WiFi (halfway between router and problem area works well)
  3. Turn it back on and wait for a solid white light
  4. Press the WiFi button once if the light doesn't appear
**

Step 4: Check signal strength**

  1. Double-press the WiFi button on the side of your mesh node
  2. 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!
