1.2.2 AP + Bridge
In AP+Bridge mode, the ZyXEL Device supports both AP and bridge connection at the same
time.
In the figure below, A and B use X as an AP to access the wired network, while X and Y
communicate in bridge mode.
When the ZyXEL Device is in AP + Bridge mode, security between APs (the Wireless
Distribution System or WDS) is independent of the security between the wireless stations and
the AP. See Section 5.6.2 on page 76 for more details.
Unless specified, the term “security settings” refers to the traffic between the wireless stations
and the ZyXEL Device.
" If you do not enable WDS security in AP + Bridge mode, traffic between APs is
not encrypted.
