### Step 6: Select the LED
Choose the **Mesh LED color **that matches what you observe on the secondary router.
******Solid Green\:** The signal strength is excellent.
**Solid Purple\:** The devices are positioned too closely together. It is recommended to move the device farther apart to ensure optimal network coverage.
******Solid Orange\:** The devices are positioned too far apart. It is advised to move the device closer to improve the coverage. Additionally, please note that the LED will change accordingly.
**Flashing Red\:** The pairing process has timed out, so we will need to initiate the pairing again.
