Wireless Bridge Network Example
1.2.1 Root AP
In Root AP mode, you can have multiple SSIDs active for regular wireless connections and one SSID for
the connection with a repeater (repeater SSID). Wireless clients can use either SSID to associate with the
Zyxel Device in Root AP mode. A repeater must use the repeater SSID to connect to the Zyxel Device in
Root AP mode.
When the Zyxel Device is in Root AP mode, repeater security between the Zyxel Device and other
repeaters is independent of the security between the wireless clients and the AP or repeater. When
repeater security is enabled, both APs and repeaters must use the same pre-shared key. See
and
for more details.
Unless specified, the term “security settings” refers to the traffic between the wireless clients and the AP.
At the time of writing, repeater security is compatible with the Zyxel Device only.
1.2.2 Wireless Repeater
Using Repeater mode, your Zyxel Device can extend the range of the WLAN. In the figure below, the
Zyxel Device in Repeater mode (
Z
) has a wireless connection to the Zyxel Device in Root AP mode (
X
)
which is connected to a wired network and also has a wireless connection to another Zyxel Device in
Repeater mode (
Y
) at the same time.
Z
and
Y
act as repeaters that forward traffic between associated
wireless clients and the wired LAN. Clients
A
and
B
access the AP and the wired network behind the AP
through repeaters
Z
and
Y
.
