1. Package Content
The package includes your mesh device, power adapter, Ethernet cable, and user guides. The number of mesh device units and power adapters varies from the actual products.
• Power Adapter
The power adapter is usually a rectangular or square block with a cord on one end that plugs into your mesh device to power it up.
• Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable is a smooth cord with a slightly stiff feel. It has a rectangular plastic connector at each end, with a small lever-like clip on top. To use it, align the connector with the Ethernet port on your device and push it in until you hear or feel a click. The clip helps secure the connection; you can press it down to remove the cable when needed.
