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

address specified in the Radio 1 Uplink MAC Address field.

Close Click Close to close the pop-up window without saving your changes.
Max Output Power Enter the maximum output power (between 0 to 30 dBm) of the Zyxel Device in this field. If
there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the Zyxel Device to
reduce interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the Zyxel Device’s effective
broadcast radius.
MBSSID Settings
Add This button is not available after you configure the Zyxel Device using the wizard.
Click the Add icon ( )to open a screen where you can create a new entry. For features
where the entry’s position in the numbered list is important (features where the Zyxel Device
applies the table’s entries in order like the SSID for example), you can select an entry and
click Add to create a new entry after the selected entry.
Edit Click the Edit icon ( )to open a screen where you can modify the entry’s settings. In some
tables you can just click a table entry and edit it directly in the table. For those types of
tables small red triangles display for table entries with changes that you have not yet
applied.
