Reset button Press this button to reset or restore the system to its factory settings. LAN ports 1-2 Connect network cables into these ports to establish LAN connection. WAN port Connect a network cable into this port to establish WAN connection.

* If you use XP4R as an AiMesh node, you can connect a network cable from a LAN port of an AiMesh router to its WAN port for uplink connection of Ethernet backhaul. USB 3.1 Gen 1 port Insert a USB 3.1 Gen 1/ USB 2.0 device such as a USB disk or USB 3G/4G modem into this port.

* If you use XP4R as an AiMesh node, the USB port supports function of AiDisk, printer server and Mac OS backup. ASUS Router App Download free ASUS Router APP to set up and manage your router(s). AiMesh Setup Steps 01 XP4R works as an AiMesh router by default. You can also add it to an existing AiMesh system as an AiMesh node. as an AiMesh router: Use a network cable to connect your modem to the WAN port of XP4R. (Skip to Step 02) As an AiMesh node: Place the node within 3 meters of the router during the setup process. Connect your AiMesh node to the AiMesh router via the following ways:

A. WiFi Backhaul connection (Skip to Step 02). B. Ethernet Backhaul connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the AiMesh router to the WAN port of the AiMesh node. C. Powerline Backhaul connection (Skip to Step 02). AiMesh Node Use XP4R as a node AiMesh Router Use XP4R as a router 02 03 Connect XP4R to a wall socket using the bundled power cord. NOTES:

Do not use a power extension cord to avoid degrading HomePlug signal and reducing data transfer speeds. To minimize powerline interference, connect the power cord to a wall socket directly. Plug the power cord to a 3-prong outlet instead of a 2-prong one for higher data transfer speeds. Wait until the LED turns solid blue indicating that the device is ready for the setup.
