Note: Make sure the VLAN settings on both the root AP and the wireless repeater are exactly
the same so they can communicate.
Note: When wireless bridge is enabled, wireless interfaces for client devices will be disabled.
You can only transmit data through the wireless repeater’s ports.
To set up a WDS in AC (AP Controller)-managed Zyxel Devices, see the ZyWALL ATP, ZyWALL VPN, USG
FLEX, or NXC User’s Guide.
1.3.3 Radio Frequency (RF) Monitor
The Zyxel Device can be set to work as an RF monitor to discover nearby Access Points. The information
it obtains from other APs is used to tag possible rogue APs and quarantine them if the Zyxel Device is
managed by an AP controller (see
). If the Zyxel Device’s radio setting is set to
MON Mode
(RF Monitor mode), it will serve as a dedicated RF monitor and its AP clients are
disconnected.
The models that do not support
MON Mode
support
Rogue AP Detection
(see
).
Rogue AP Detection
allows the AP to scan all channels similar to
MON Mode
except that the Zyxel
Device still works as an AP while it scans the environment for wireless signals. To see which Zyxel Devices
support the RF Monitor feature, see
.
The Zyxel Device in
MON Mode
scans a range of WiFi channels that you specify in a
MON Profile
, either in
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. To scan both bands, you need to set both radio 1 and radio 2 in
MON Mode
.
Once a rogue AP is detected, the network administrator can manually change the network settings to
limit its access to the network using its MAC address or have the device physically removed. If the Zyxel
Device is managed by an AP controller, the network administrator can also use
Rogue AP Containment
through the AP controller.
MON Mode in Standalone Mode
To use an RF monitor in standalone mode, do the following steps:
1
Create a
MON Profile
in
Configuration > Object > MON Profile > Add
. Specify a
Channel dwell time
to
determine how long the RF monitor scans a specific channel before moving to the next one.
2
To scan all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels, select
auto
in
Scan Channel Mode
. Make sure that the
Activate
check box is selected and click
OK
.
3
Go to the
Configuration > Wireless > AP Management
screen and set
Radio 1 OP Mode
(2.4 GHz) and/or
Radio 2
OP Mode
(5 GHz) to
MON Mode
.
4
Select the
Radio 1(2) Profile
that you created in the previous step. Make sure that the
Radio 1(2)
Activate
check box is selected and click
Apply
.
5
Go to
Monitor > Wireless > Detected Device
to see a list of APs scanned by the RF monitor.
6
Select an AP or APs in the list and click
Mark as Rogue AP
or
Mark as Friendly AP
.
