6.3 MPro Mesh Network
MPro Mesh Network
The Zyxel Device supports MPro Mesh to manage 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.
AP Steering and Band Steering
Zyxel MPro Mesh supports AP steering and Band steering.
• AP steering allows WiFi clients to roam seamlessly between MPro Mesh supported APs in your MPro
Mesh network by using the same SSID and WiFi password. Also, AP steering monitors WiFi clients and
drops their connections to optimize the extender bandwidth when the clients are idle or have a low
signal. When a WiFi client is dropped, it has the opportunity to reconnect to an MPro Mesh AP with a
strong signal.

• Band steering allows 2.4 GHz/5 GHz dual-band WiFi clients to move from one band to another. For
example, if the 2.4 GHz channel is congested, WiFi clients that support 5 GHz can move to the 5 GHz
band.
