How to know if your Mesh Wi-Fi Node is synced?

A Mesh Wi-Fi Node is the perfect solution to extend your modem’s signal throughout your home, for wall-to-wall Wi-Fi coverage. Ensuring your Mesh Wi-Fi Node is synced with your Hughesnet® modem, helps you to get the most out of your internet service.

How to check the Sync Status:

  • Locate the “Sync” LED on your Mesh Wi-Fi Node. It should be the second LED from top (as shown in the picture below).
    • If it is solid lit, your Mesh Wi-Fi Node is correctly synced with your Hughesnet modem and is placed within range from your Hughesnet modem.
    • If it is not lit or blinking, please follow the instructions below to sync your Mesh Wi-Fi Node:
    • Power off the Mesh Wi-Fi Node, wait for 10 seconds, and then power it back on. Check the sync status again after the restart.
    • Bring the Mesh Wi-Fi Node closer to the Hughesnet modem (ideally halfway between your Hughesnet modem and an area with weak signal) and ensure it is properly ventilated, in an upright position, at least six feet away from other electronics like microwave.
