Pairing your X700 mesh node

Both the router and mesh node must be powered on and ready to pair.
The router and mesh node should be within 10 to 50 feet of each other when connecting via Wi-Fi. You'll position the mesh node after connecting.
Pairing actions on the router and mesh node must occur within 30 seconds of one another when pairing via Wi-Fi.
The multicolor LED on the X700, and the device display and Wi-Fi status LED on the router help guide the pairing process.
