1.2.5 Access Point and Repeater

Set the ZyXEL Device to AP+Repeater mode to have it simultaneously provide access for
wireless clients and use the repeater function. This allows you to extend the coverage of your
wireless network without installing Ethernet cable to connect the ZyXEL Device. In the
following figure, B is in AP+Repeater mode. B functions as an AP for wireless clients C and
D. B also repeats traffic between the wireless clients and AP A which is connected to the wired
network. You could also set AP A to AP+Repeater mode so that wireless clients could
connect to A as well.
