How can i disable 5GHz wireless mode when it's in AP mode and connected to my main router via ethernet? I need to connect my airconditioning to this router because, it can't reach the one downstairs. Only problem is that the airco requires 5GHz to be turned of in order to connect.

Page 10: Introduction
The WAP6807 can function as a Repeater or an Access Point (AP). Set your WAP6807 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. If the WAP6807 has a wired uplink connection, it is in AP mode.
Page 11: Mpro Mesh
Figure 2 Device Operation Mode Example: Repeater Mode In Figure 2, the WAP6807 that is acting as a Repeater is letting a wireless client connect to the network wirelessly through a router. This helps you expand wireless coverage when you have an access point or wireless router already in your network.
Page 12 Figure 3 AP Steering Application Band Steering 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. WAP6807 User’s Guide...
Page 13: Network Controller
Note: For AP steering and band steering to work, the controller and all the APs in the network need to have the same SSID and password. Therefore, we recommend using the controller to change the SSID and password. Figure 5 Mesh Application WAP6807 User’s Guide...

WAP6807 to access network resources. The WAP6807 is a dual-band extender that can use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks at the same time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Page 15: Setting Up Multiple Wireless Groups
You can add more extenders to your network to form a daisy chain. Daisy chain refers to the connection from the first WAP6807 to other WAP6807s to extend the WiFi connection from the router to the client. The WAP6807 uplink connection determines the mode: Access Point or Repeater.
Page 16 If you already have two WAP6807s acting as repeaters, we do not recommend adding another WAP6807 as a repeater. Note: If one of the WAP6807 has a wireless uplink connection, we do not recommend linking the other WAP6807s in your daisy chain network with a wired connection.

Page 79 Chapter 8 Wireless LAN This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless networks using WPS when the WAP6807 is in AP or Repeater mode. The following example uses the WAP6807 as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android smartphone as the wireless client.
Page 80 Chapter 8 Wireless LAN Note: Your WAP6807 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other. Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
Page 81 When WPS is activated on both, they perform the handshake. In this example, AP1 is the registrar, and Client 1 is the enrollee. The registrar randomly generates the security information to set up the network, since it is unconfigured and has no existing information. WAP6807 User’s Guide...
Page 82 In step 3, you add another access point (AP2) to your network. AP2 is out of range of AP1, so you cannot use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know that Client 2 supports the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake instead. WAP6807 User’s Guide...

Page 85 Note: If your router supports Zyxel MPro Mesh, it will serve as the router controller in a Mesh network with the WAP6807. If your router does not support Zyxel MPro Mesh, your WAP6807 will automatically become an AP controller.

Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. • Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the WAP6807 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
