If you have a network with a parent MR55WH, you can add additional Linksys Mesh routers or nodes. Follow the steps below to learn how.

Before you begin:
 

• Your parent router or node must be set up and online
• Parent node: The Linksys Mesh router connected to your modem.
• Child node: Additional Linksys Mesh node or router to extend your WiFi network
  • You can add another Linksys MR55WH or any Linksys Mesh models.
• Learn about the router's light status.
• If you have enabled the router's Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) feature, you may need to disable it before adding a child node that may not support it.

1. Connect your mobile device to your router's WiFi network.

2. Power ON the child node that you will add near the parent node, preferably in the same room as the parent node or no more than 10 ft away from it. You will be able to relocate your child node after the setup is complete.

3. Launch the Linksys app and log in with your Linksys cloud account.

4. Tap on Set up a New Product.



5. Tap on Add Another Node to xxx (the x's represent the name of your existing WiFi).



6. Tap on To extend my Wi-Fi with a new child node.



7. Enable the Bluetooth® on your device if prompted.



8. If you have not powered ON your child node, make sure to power it up near the parent node. Tap on Next



9. Once your child node has a solid light, tap on Node light is solid.



10. Adding the child node is in progress.



11. Your child node has now been added. Tap on Next



If your node was not detected, make sure that it is near the parent node, if possible in the same room as the parent node or no more than 10 ft away from it. 

12. You can now unplug and relocate your child node. Tap on Finish.

After you move your child node, wait for the light on the node to turn solid. This indicates the child now has reconnected to the network and it’s ready to use.
