1.3.4 Band Steering
Band steering allows 2.4 GHz/5 GHz dual-band WiFi clients to move from one band to another. The
controller detects if the client device are dual-band compatible. If a client device supports dual-band
WiFi and the 2.4 GHZ band is congested, its 2.4 GHz connection is dropped so that it can connect to the
less congested 5 GHz band.
In the following example, the Apple TV is a dual-band client device that uses the 5 GHz band.

1.3.5 Daisy Chain
You can add more APs or WiFi Extenders to your EasyMesh network to form a daisy chain. Daisy chain
refers to the connection from the Zyxel Device to up to three APs or WiFi Extenders to extend the WiFi
connection from the router to the client.
• If the Zyxel Device has a wired downlink connection, the device connected to the Zyxel Device must
be an AP.
• If the Zyxel Device has a WiFi downlink connection, the device connected to the Zyxel Device must
be a WiFi Extender.
Here are some example scenarios of the Zyxel Device’s daisy chain connection:
