In the following example, managed APs 1 and 2 act as a root AP and managed APs A, B and C are
repeaters.
The maximum number of hops (the repeaters beteen a wireless client and the root AP) you can
have in a ZyMesh varies according to how many wireless clients a managed AP can support.
Note: A ZyMesh/WDS link with more hops has lower throughput.
Note: When the wireless connection between the root AP and the repeater is up, in order
to prevent bridge loops, the repeater would not be able to transmit data through its
Ethernet port(s). The repeater then could only receive power from a PoE device if
you use PoE to provide power to the managed AP via an 8-ping Etherent cable.
