6.6.2 Bridge/Repeater Mode

The ZyXEL Device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with
other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in
bridge mode.
The ZyXEL Device can establish up to five wireless links with other APs.
In the example below, when both ZyXEL Devices are in Bridge/Repeater mode, they form a
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allowing the computers in LAN 1 to connect to the
computers in LAN 2.

DESCRIPTION
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select Mixed to allow both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. The transmission rate of your ZyXEL
Device might be reduced.
Enable maximum frame burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
Maximum frame burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the ZyXEL
Device transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature.
