You can configure the Mesh settings on an
access point (AP).
Complete the following steps to configure
the Mesh settings on an AP.
On the navigation bar, click Wi-Fi > Access Points > Access Point List.
The AP
List page is displayed.
Click the name of the AP for
which you want to customize the AP Mesh settings, then on the
Overview page, click Configure.
Alternatively, click the checkbox for the specific AP name, then click
Edit.
The AP configuration page
is displayed, defaulting to the General tab
view.
Select the Networking tab.
By default, the IP Settings section is displayed.

Note: To configure Mesh settings
at the AP level, Mesh must be enabled at the venue where this AP is
installed.
Configuring Mesh
Settings on an AP
Select the Mesh Role
(Auto,
Root
AP, Mesh AP, and None). By
default, Mesh
Role is set to Auto. Select
None if you do not want this AP to be part of your
Mesh network.
Note: In most cases, RUCKUS
recommends setting the Mesh mode to Auto to
reduce the risk of isolating a Mesh AP.
Note: If you select Mesh AP,
ensure it is not wired to the venue network. Otherwise, the Mesh AP will not
function properly.
Note: A Root AP or Mesh AP is not
allowed to move to another venue after enabling Mesh Network
in the venue settings to prevent networking issues.
(Optional) The Uplink Selection
option is available only when the Mesh role is set to Auto or
Mesh
AP. By default, the Mesh APs automatically select
the best uplink option is selected. You can choose the
Select Uplink AP
Manually option and select the uplink APs by clicking the
checkboxes next to the AP names. Alternatively, you can search for a specific AP
by entering its name in the search box.
