A parent node is a Linksys E7350 that is connected to your modem while a child node is another EasyMesh product (like another Linksys E7350) that will be used to extend your WiFi.
To set up a Linksys E7350 parent node, follow these instructions.
With the latest firmware, EasyMesh will be enabled after running the setup wizard.
For devices with older firmware, EasyMesh is turned OFF by default. If your router is already set up, you need to enable the EasyMesh feature to add other EasyMesh child nodes to extend your WiFi.
For instructions on setting up the router as a child node, follow these steps.
Yes, but first make sure that you have the latest firmware installed that supports EasyMesh. If the router was being used as a parent node, you will need to reset it. You may have to manually update the firmware, or if the router is still online, check if there is firmware available.
After you update the firmware, reset it and add it as a child node.
For instructions on enabling or disabling EasyMesh on your router, follow these steps.
