I recently had an issue with setting up the mesh, I came accross this post and still couldn't figure out until I found the solution.
Sharing this and hope it could help someone.
First of all, I had 1 router and 2 points. I took 1 point to the shed and the wifi was not that great upstair so I decided to buy another 2nd set on ebay (1 router and 2 points). My devices are Australia version.
First I added the 2nd router to the mesh, it worked fine. Then once I attempted to add the additional point to the mesh, it failed at the last step when creating the mesh no mater how I tried with different phone, moving the point to existing working points.
I nearly gave up until I take these following steps:
- Remove the 2nd router that I setup as a point from the mesh (you can factory reset it from the app)
- Turn power off the existing points if needed
- Restart the entire network, you can do that from the primary router configuration screen
- Add the first additional point, Once added successfully, power off this point
- Add the second additional point, Once added successfully, power off this point
- Finally add the router
- Power all all offline points
- Test mesh
The Restart network is one of the key finding.
The second key step is adding the 2nd router (as the point) at the very end.
Good luck.
