Band This field displays the frequency bands to which the SSID profile is applicable. If the SSID
profile is not applicable to the current radio, the SSID profile will not be enabled.
You can configure the SSID profile’s applicable frequency bands in the Edit SSID Profile
screen (click the Edit button next to the profile).
Radio 2 Setting
Radio 2 Activate This displays if the Zyxel Device has a second radio.
Select the check box to enable the Zyxel Device’s second radio.
Radio 2 OP Mode This displays if the Zyxel Device has a second radio. Select the operating mode for radio 2.
AP Mode means the radio can receive connections from WiFi clients and pass their data
traffic through to the Zyxel Device to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
MON Mode means the radio monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes their
information on to the Zyxel Device where it can be determined if those APs are friendly or
rogue. If a radio is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from WiFi clients (see
Section 1.3.3 on page 26).
Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with
other APs (in repeater mode) to form a WDS to extend its wireless network.
Repeater means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either root
AP or repeater mode) to form a WDS.
Radio 2 Profile This displays if the Zyxel Device has a second radio. Select the radio profile the radio uses.
Note: You can only apply a 5G AP radio profile to radio 2. Otherwise, the second
radio will not be working.
Radio 2 WDS Profile This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater mode.
Select the WDS profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Enable WDS Wireless
Bridging
Not all models support this feature. See Section 1.2 on page 14 for models that support
wireless bridge.
If you set the Zyxel Device as a root AP, the radio that’s bridging with the Zyxel Device
should be in repeater mode.
Be careful to avoid bridge loops. For example, if your root AP and the Zyxel Device are
connected to a switch, and they’re also connected to each other using a WiFi connection.
This will create bridge loops.
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater mode. Select this to enable WDS
wireless bridging on the Zyxel Device to establish wireless links with other APs. See Section
1.3 on page 22 for more information on Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
Note: You must enable the same WiFi security settings on the Zyxel Device and on
all WiFi clients that you want to associate with it.
Uplink Selection
Mode

address specified in the Radio 1 Uplink MAC Address field.
