    H A P T E R Introduction 1.1 Overview The WX3401-B0 can function as a Repeater or an Access Point (AP). Set your WX3401-B0 as an AP if you already have a router in your network and you want to bridge a wired network (LAN) and another LAN or wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet.

  • Page 12: Dual-Band Wifi

    Chapter 1 Introduction You can add more WX3401-B0s to your network to form a daisy chain, see Section 1.3 on page 13 more information. Set up a Mesh network with your WX3401-B0 to enjoy band steering, AP steering, auto-configuration and other advances for your wireless network, see Section 1.4 on page 14 for more information.

  • Page 13: Daisy Chain

    Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 4 Dual-Band Application The WX3401-B0 can act as an Access Point (AP) for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless clients, such as notebook computers, iPads, smartphones, and so on. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on Ethernet cables. Figure 5 Wireless Access Example 1.3 Daisy Chain You can add more extenders to your network to form a daisy chain.

Scenario 4 in Figure 9 is only for routers that support Zyxel MPro Mesh.
  • Page 15 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 10 AP Steering Application • Band steering allows 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band wireless clients to move from one band to another. For example, if the 2.4GHz channel is congested, wireless clients that support 5GHz can move to the 5GHz band.
  • Page 16 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 11 Band Steering Application You need a router or an AP that can function as a controller in order to set up a Mesh network. A controller manages and coordinates WiFi activity in a network. A controller also manages the SSIDs and password on all APs in a network (auto-configuration). For example, if you change the SSID on a router, all the SSIDs of APs in a network will also change.

    Chapter 6 Wireless 6.11.3.4 Encryption Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network.

    Chapter 6 Wireless Figure 50 Basic Service Set 6.11.6 MBSSID Traditionally, you need to use different APs to configure different Basic Service Sets (BSSs). As well as the cost of buying extra APs, there is also the possibility of channel interference. The WX3401-B0’s MBSSID (Multiple Basic Service Set IDentifier) function allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs simultaneously.

  • Page 110 Chapter 6 Wireless Figure 52 How WPS Works The roles of registrar and enrollee last only as long as the WPS setup process is active (two minutes). The next time you use WPS, a different device can be the registrar if necessary. The WPS connection process is like a handshake;...

You know that Client 1 supports registrar mode, but it is better to use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new client since you must connect to the access point anyway in order to use the network.
  • Page 112 Chapter 6 Wireless Figure 55 WPS: Example Network Step 3 6.11.8.5 Limitations of WPS WPS has some limitations of which you should be aware. • WPS works in Infrastructure networks only (where an AP and a wireless client communicate).

  • Page 113 Chapter 6 Wireless point is the WPS registrar, the enrollee, or was not involved in the WPS handshake; a rogue device must still associate with the access point to gain access to the network. Check the MAC addresses of your wireless clients (usually printed on a label on the bottom of the device). If there is an unknown MAC address you can remove it or reset the AP.
