that connects to the Uplink AP is called Downlink AP. An uplink AP can offer direct wireless

connection for 4 Downlink APs at most.

Wireless Uplink: The action that a Downlink AP connects to the uplink AP.

Hops: In a deployment that uses a root AP and more than one level of wireless uplink with

intermediate APs, the uplink tiers can be referred to by root, first hop, second hop and so on.

The hops cannot be more than 3.

In a basic mesh network as shown below, there is a root AP that is connected by Ethernet

cable, while other isolated APs have no wired data connection. Mesh allows the isolated APs to

communicate with pre-configured root AP on the network. Once powered up, factory default or

unadopted EAP devices can sense the EAP in range and make itself available for adoption within

the Omada controller.

Mesh APs

After all the EAPs are adopted, a mesh network is established. Then the EAPs connected to the

network wirelessly also can broadcast SSIDs and relay network traffic to and from the network

through the uplink AP.

To establish a mesh network, follow the steps below.

Enable Mesh Function.

Adopt the Root AP.

Set up wireless uplink by adopting APs in Pending (Wireless) or Isolated status.
