7.7 The MESH Screen
Use this screen to enable or disable Zyxel MESH (Multy Pro). It supports AP steering and Band steering. AP
steering allows wireless clients to roam seamlessly between Multy-Pro-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 EMG 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 Multy-Pro-supported device with a
strong signal. Band steering allows dual band wireless clients to steer from one band to another.
A MESH network consists of a controller, the EMG, and a maximum of three Multy-Pro-supported
extenders.
When Multy Pro is enabled:
• One Connect will be enabled and grayed out automatically. It's used for the communication
between the EMG and a Multy-Pro-supported extenders for the setup of a MESH network.
• The SSID and WiFi password of the main 2.4GHz wireless network will be copied to the main 5GHz
wireless network.
See the steps below on how to set up a MESH network with the EMG. The setup could take you 30
minutes.
