How to use

Place the Halo H80X centrally relative to the area where stable coverage is needed and connect the WAN port to your modem or internet source. Power on the device and use the MERCUSYS mobile app to complete the guided setup, which includes creating the SSID and password, selecting operating band preferences and applying basic security settings. For mesh expansion, follow the app's pairing procedure to add additional Halo units; the system will synchronise settings and form a unified network. Connect devices using the generated SSID or via Ethernet for stationary equipment that requires the most stable connection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, position the router away from large metal objects and sources of interference such as microwave ovens and cordless phones. Place additional mesh nodes in open areas between coverage gaps, ensuring each node maintains a stable connection to the primary unit. Keep router firmware up to date via the app to receive performance improvements and security patches. Use the 5 GHz band for bandwidth‑heavy applications and 2.4 GHz for longer range and IoT devices.
