• MBSSID should not replace but rather be used in conjunction with 802.1x security.
7.10.7 Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries can act as a wireless network bridge and establish WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) links with other APs. You need to know the MAC addresses of the APs you want
to link to. Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between
devices is made.
At the time of writing, WDS security is compatible with other ZyXEL access points only. Refer to
your other access point’s documentation for details.
The following figure illustrates how WDS link works between APs. Notebook computer

has no wired Internet connection, but it can

AP 2
, which has a wired Internet connection. When

has a WDS link with
AP 2
, the notebook computer can access the Internet through

7.10.8 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
Your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set
up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi
Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device
to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
7.10.8.1 Push Button Configuration
WPS Push Button Configuration (PBC) is initiated by pressing a button on each WPS-enabled
device, and allowing them to connect automatically. You do not need to enter any information.
Not every WPS-enabled device has a physical WPS button. Some may have a WPS PBC button in
their configuration utilities instead of or in addition to the physical button.
Take the following steps to set up WPS using the button.

Ensure that the two devices you want to set up are within wireless range of one another.
