information on to the NXC where it can be determined if those APs are friendly or
rogue. If an AP is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients.
Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with
other APs (in repeater mode) to form a ZyMesh/WDS to extend its wireless network.
Repeater AP means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in
either root AP or repeater mode).
