The Zyxel Device supports MPro Mesh along with the MPro Mesh app to manage your WiFi network.
MPro Mesh is the Zyxel implantation of WiFi-Alliance Easy Mesh. It supports AP steering, band steering,
auto-configuration and other advances for your WiFi network.
The Zyxel Device can function as a controller to automatically configure WiFi settings on extenders in the
network as well as optimize bandwidth usage.
The Zyxel Device optimizes bandwidth usage by directing WiFi clients to an extender (AP steering) or a
2.4GHz/ 5GHz band (band steering) that is less busy.
See Section 6.1 on page 130 for the complete MPro Mesh feature introduction and the following
tutorials with the MPro Mesh app.
