2) Select your host router’s 2.4GHz SSID (network name) which can support OneMesh function and marks as OneMesh, enter its password (the wireless password used to join the selected wireless network, NOT the password you just created for management), and click Next.

7) At the end of the setup you will get the screen below indicating you are finished. The RE300 is now connect to the router’s OneMesh network and copied the router’s wireless settings.

 

Tip: It is recommended to enable Smart Connect on your host router to enjoy a seamless connection between dual-band networks. With Smart Connect enabled, your host router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz share the same SSID (network name) and password. Refer to your host router’s user guide to enable Smart Connect.
