Mercusys specialises in providing cost-effective, centrally managed Wi-Fi routers for home users. With a product line already consisting of Wi-Fi routers, adapters, repeaters, Access Points, and switches, it helps you provide the most efficient internet connection to your customers.

4 Reasons why you should be considering Mercusys:

ISP Preset
EasyMesh Compatibility
TR-069
Mercusys Mobile Application

What is an ISP preset and its main features?

General Config: Easily upgrade the common configuration of devices to the default settings according to your requirements.
Specific Config: Set specific configurations for individual devices one at a time. You can effortlessly configure different settings with an individual network name and password for each router.
Logo and Favicon Config: Change the configuration page with your company logo and favicon that you want to display.
Easily apply settings to multiple devices; Apply customised default configuration via batch mode to multiple devices at once, without the need for additional specialised equipment.
Keep new defaults in devices: Once the config process is completed, the settings will become the “new default”. Even if the end-user resets the device, it will return to the setting you configured. This allows you to quickly create a custom product and permanently save the settings on the device, saving you unnecessary technical support calls.

What is EasyMesh?

EasyMesh is a simple way to create mesh Wi-Fi, using multiple Access Points that work together to form a unified network. This provides smart, efficient Wi-Fi throughout your home and outdoor spaces. You can easily expand your customers' Wi-Fi network with any of the devices that support EasyMesh.

How does it work?

The main router is for mesh network onboarding and management while the satellite devices including EasyMesh routers and range extenders are for the expansion of the Wi-Fi Network.

Routers and range extenders must support EasyMesh and firmware updates may be required.

What is TR-069?

Technical Report 069 or TR-069, also known as CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol), is a technical specification of the Broadband Forum that defines an application layer protocol for remote managed and provisioning of customer premises equipment (CPE) connected to an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Simply put, using an ACS (Automatic Configuration Server) you can onboard your devices, and push configuration, and firmware updates from a central location.

What are the key features of TR-069?

Auto Configuration: When booted up, the CPE automatically requests the configuration from the ACS. The ACS also initiates the configuration when needed. Turning a service on/off becomes more flexible for you as the service provider.
Firmware upgrades: With TR-069, you can check the firmware version of the CPE through ACS and both identification and deployment of the firmware is done through the click of a button.
Device management: to manage the connected devices efficiently, TR-069 provides a grouping option to organize your CPE devices.
Troubleshooting: you can assist your customers in locating problems of their device remotely as well as perform troubleshooting online, reducing callouts while streamlining your tech support process.
Remote diagnostics: you can remotely monitor the CPE’s network status and performance.

The Mercusys Mobile Application:

The Mercusys Mobile Application allows your customers to manage their own Wi-Fi and is available for download for Android and iOS. Your customers can make changes to their Wi-Fi such as changing the SSID and or password, and if managed through TR-069, these changes will also update on your ACS.
