Step 3: Press the WPS button on the M1800 and then press the WPS button on WR2100.
Main mesh unit: Flash white
Add-on mesh unit: Flash white and red alternately
Step 4: It will go to "Scanning", then " Connecting".
Step 5: Wait until the System LED of the add-on router turns into solid blue, then relocate WR2100.
Step 6: Success and enjoy the mesh network.

@Dear Tib,
May be the signal strength of the P4 received by the M3000 is very weak at the placement of the M3000. Please try to adjust the placement of both routers to enhance the signal strength and check if the problem is avoided?
“I have a set if m3000 v1 and a p4 v1. The p4 is the mai router as I live in an area where internet fluctuates and it’s good for mobile feature. The problem is i have these m3000 i cannot connect to the p4. It only works with the cable. Are they incompatible? I am unable to find this information. The thing is when I try to add from p4 app they are discovered, but fail on connecting. Firmware are up to date on all. I even reset all to factory. I am writing this as cable is not a good option fo me. Should I put one of the m3000 as main router?
Thanks.”

@Dear Geoffrey,
Thank you for advice. We have plan to add this feature in the future.
“As per Drew’s comment, I would like to also like a device to be able to prefer a particular node on a mesh network. I think that this would be a useful feature. I have a situation (that I’m still looking into) where my mobile phone will only connect with my streamer if they are both using the same mesh node – not sure why at the moment.

@Dear Drew,
Thank you for your kindly advice. We will provide your feedback to the product department for evaluation.
“Please make it so you can set devices to prefer a particular node on the mesh network. I want to benefit from the WiFi 7 MLO on my laptop, but sometimes it will switch to the secondary node and I don’t get the same benefits. This should be an easy feature-add! Thank you! We also need more control over clients, especially on guest networks.”
