A MESH network consists of a controller, the Zyxel Device, and Multy-Pro-supported extenders. Multy-Pro-
supported extenders use the same wireless settings as the controller.
When Multy Pro is enabled:
• One Connect will be enabled and grayed out automatically. See
information about One Connect. One Connect is used for the communication between the Zyxel
Device and Multy-Pro-supported extenders for the setup of a MESH network.
• The SSID and WiFi password of the main 2.4 GHz wireless network will be copied to the main 5 GHz
wireless network.
• If users change the modes of a Multy-Pro supported extender, users need to wait until it finishes
booting before creating a MESH network with a controller, a Zyxel router.
See the steps below on how to set up a MESH network. The setup could take you 30 minutes.
