LABEL DESCRIPTION
OP Mode Select the operating mode for radio 1 or radio 2.
AP Mode means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data
traffic through to the Zyxel Device to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
MON Mode means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes their
information on to the Zyxel Device 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 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).
Note: To prevent bridge loops, do NOT set both radios on a managed AP to
Note: The root AP and repeater AP(s) in a ZyMesh must use the same country
Note: Ensure you restart the managed AP after you change its operating mode.

Profile
Enable Wireless Select the ZyMesh profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Bridging
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater AP mode.
Select this option to enable wireless bridging on the radio.
The managed AP must support LAN provision and the radio should be in repeater mode.
VLAN and bridge interfaces are created automatically according to the LAN port's VLAN
settings. When wireless bridging is enabled, the managed repeater AP can still transmit
data through its Ethernet port(s) after the ZyMesh link is up. Be careful to avoid bridge loops.
The managed APs in the same ZyMesh must use the same static VLAN ID.
Output Power Set the maximum output power of the AP.
If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the managed AP
to reduce interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the Zyxel Device's effective
