Important: you need to pair the stick to your Zigbee network for it to start working as Zigbee router
### Configuring device as Zigbee router #### Flashing router firmware - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Update Firmware** button - Select dongle serial port - Wait for connection - **Enable pairing in your Zigbee network** - Select firmware (Router) - Flash firmware - Immediately after the update, the device will start searching for the network, so it is important that the network is open at this moment. #### Manuall pairing activation If after flashing the device did not pair or you need to pair the device in another location, you can do this! ##### SLZB-07/MGx: - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Router reconnect** button - If that didn't work: 1. Download any serial terminal (e.g. terra term) 2. Connect the dongle to the PC 3. Open the dongle COM in the terminal at **115200** baurate 4. Send **network leave** ##### SLZB-07Px: - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Router reconnect** button - If that didn't work: repeat step "Flashing router firmware" ### Troubleshooting #### Сoordinator does not detect the dongle - Make sure your ZigBee network is open - Make sure the dongle is within range of your ZigBee network - Activate pairing on the dongle manually #### The dongle appears offline after a while This may not be true. Z2M marks ZigBee devices as offline if they do not report anything for a long time, but the router firmware has nothing to report (the device does not have any sensors) so the system may mark it as offline. > **If the device is truly offline, all devices that were connected through it will become unavailable.** If the device offline then the most likely reason is that it is outside the coverage area of your Zigbee network.
