Chapter 21 ZyMesh Profile
NXC Series User’s Guide
285
In the following example, managed APs 1 and 2 act as a root AP and managed APs A, B and C are
repeaters.
The maximum number of hops (the repeaters between a wireless client and the root AP) you can have
in a ZyMesh varies according to how many wireless clients a managed AP can support.
Note: A ZyMesh link with more hops has lower throughput.
Note: When the wireless connection between the root AP and the repeater is up, in order to
prevent bridge loops, the repeater would not be able to transmit data through its
Ethernet port(s). The repeater then could only receive power from a PoE device if you
use PoE to provide power to the managed AP via an 8-ping Ethernet cable.
