Note: All managed APs should be connected to the Zyxel Device directly to get the
configuration file before being deployed to build a ZyMesh. Ensure you restart the
managed AP after you change its operating mode using the
Configuration > Wireless >
AP Management
screen (see
).
• Root AP: a managed AP that can transmit and receive data from the Zyxel Device via a wired
Ethernet connection.
• Repeater: a managed AP that transmits and/or receives data from the Zyxel Device via a wireless
connection through a root AP.
Note: When managed APs are deployed to form a ZyMesh for the first time, the root AP must
be connected to an AP controller (the Zyxel Device).
In the following example, managed APs
1
and
2
act as a root AP and managed APs
A
,
B
and
C
are
repeaters.
The maximum number of hops (the repeaters between a wireless client and the root AP) you can have
in a ZyMesh varies according to how many wireless clients a managed AP can support.
Note: A ZyMesh link with more hops has lower throughput.
Note: When the wireless connection between the root AP and the repeater is up, in order to
prevent bridge loops, the repeater would not be able to transmit data through its
Ethernet port(s). The repeater then could only receive power from a PoE device if you
use PoE to provide power to the managed AP via an 8-ping Ethernet cable.
