point is the WPS registrar, the enrollee, or was not involved in the WPS handshake; a rogue device
must still associate with the access point to gain access to the network. Check the MAC addresses of
your wireless clients (usually printed on a label on the bottom of the device). If there is an unknown
MAC address you can remove it or reset the AP.
8.10.4 MPro Mesh Overview
Zyxel MPro Mesh supports AP steering and Band steering.
• AP steering allows wireless clients to roam seamlessly between Mesh supported devices in your Mesh
network by using the same SSID and WiFi password. Also, AP steering helps monitor wireless clients and
drop their connections to optimize the WAP6807 bandwidth when the clients are idle or have a low
signal. When a wireless client is dropped, it has the opportunity to steer to a Mesh supported device
with a strong signal.
• Band steering allows 2.4G/5G dual-band wireless clients to steer from one band to another. For
example, if the 2.4G channel is congested, wireless clients that support 5G could be moved to the 5G
channel.
You need a router or an AP that can function as a controller in order to set up a Mesh network. A
controller manages and coordinates WiFi activity in a network, such as:
• AP steering
• Band steering
• Management of SSIDs and password on all APs in a network
For example, if you change the SSID on a router, all the SSIDs of APs in a network will be changed as
well.
