Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 4 Repeater Application When the Zyxel Device is in Repeater mode, repeater security between the Zyxel Device and other repeater is independent of the security between the WiFi clients and the AP or repeater. When repeater security is enabled, both APs and repeaters must use the same pre-shared key. See Section 10.2 on page 118 and Section 15.2 on page 180 for more details. For NCC managed devices, you only need to enable AP Smart Mesh to automatically create wireless links between APs. See the NCC User's Guide for more details. To set up a WDS in standalone mode APs, do the following steps. You should already have the root AP set up (see the Quick Start Guide for hardware connections). 1 Go to Configuration > Object > WDS Profile in your root AP Web Configurator and click Add. 2 Enter a profile name, a WDS SSID, and a pre-shared key. 3 Go to Configuration > Wireless > AP Management, select the Radio WDS Profile of the radio on which you are setting the WDS connection to use the WDS profile you set, and click Apply. 4 Do steps 1 and 3 for the wireless repeater using the same WDS SSID and pre-shared key. 5 Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between the root and repeater Zyxel Devices is made. (Optional) If your Zyxel Device supports wireless bridging, you can extend a wired network from the port on the wireless repeater, do the following step: 6 Go to Configuration > Wireless > AP Management, select Setup WDS Wireless Bridging to enable wireless bridge on the wireless repeater. 7 Connect the client device to the Zyxel Device's port with an Ethernet cable.
