Radio 2 OP Mode This displays if the Zyxel Device has a second radio. Select the operating mode for radio 2.
AP Mo de means the radio can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data
traffic through to the Zyxel Device to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
MO N Mo d e 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 wireless clients (see
Section 1.2.3 on page 14).
Ro o t A P 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.
Re pe a te r 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.

Max Output Power Enter the maximum output power (between 0 to 30 dBm) of the Zyxel Device in this field. If

reduce interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the Zyxel Device’s effective
broadcast radius.
