The following table describes the icons used in the figure.
Note: Your router must have an Internet connection whether it supports MPro Mesh or not.
Note: If your router supports Zyxel MPro Mesh, it will serve as the router controller in a Mesh
network with the WX Device.
Note: If your router does not support Zyxel MPro Mesh, your WX Device will automatically
become the AP controller.
1.3 Dual-Band WiFi
When WiFi is enabled on the WX Device, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax compliant clients, such as
notebooks, tablets and smartphones can wirelessly connect to the WX Device to access network
resources.
With dual-band, the WX Device is a gateway that can use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks at the
same time. WiFi clients could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while
using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Go to Table 1 on page 12 to see if your WX Device supports dual-band WiFi.
