What your BetterWiFi mesh node is telling you

Router Type: Technicolor Mesh Nodes (White units with black router)

During Setup:

• Flashing yellow: Your mesh getting ready to pair or pairing is in progress

• Green or blue light: Your mesh has excellent signal strength to your router

Check Signal Strength:

• Green: a strong connection to your router. You're good to go.
• Orange: Your connection is acceptable, but you could get better performance. Try moving your mesh node a bit closer to your router if you can.
• Red: Too far from router, move it much closer to get a better signal.

Problem Indicators:

• Stuck flashing yellow: You may need to move your mesh closer to router or reset your mesh node.

If you want to see how well your booster is performing? Open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 (you'll need to log in with the admin password on the bottom of your hub).

From there, you can:

• Check your signal quality percentages
• See which devices are using 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
• Monitor devices using multiple bands at once (multi-link operation)
