Chapter 7 Wireless 7.7 MESH Use this screen to enable or disable Zyxel MESH (Multy Pro). It supports AP steering and Band steering. AP steering allows wireless clients to roam seamlessly between Multy-Pro-supported devices in your MESH network by using the same SSID and WiFi password. Also, AP steering helps monitor wireless clients and drop their connections to optimize the VMG bandwidth when the clients are idle or have a low signal. When a wireless client is dropped, it has the opportunity to steer to a Multy-Pro-supported device with a strong signal. Band steering allows dual band wireless clients to steer from one band to another. A MESH network consists of a controller, the VMG, and a maximum of three Multy-Pro-supported extenders. When Multy Pro is enabled: • One Connect will be enabled and grayed out automatically. It's used for the communication between the VMG and a Multy-Pro-supported extenders for the setup of a MESH network. • The SSID and WiFi password of the main 2.4 GHz wireless network will be copied to the main 5 GHz wireless network. See the steps below on how to set up a MESH network with the VMG. The setup could take you 30 minutes.
