In this article, we are going to set up a basic ZyMesh configuration on an AP controller. In the test scenario, we will be using a USG40W, a WAC6103D-I and an NWA5123-AC. To find out which APs support Zymesh, please look into the respective Datasheets found in our Zyxel Download Library.
ZyMesh can be set up on the ATP, USG, VPN and NXC series. For NXC, additional Licenses are needed.
The ZyMesh function enables the ZyXEL WLAN APs to transport network traffic over a wireless link.

The Root AP needs to get a manual override or be included in a group of Root APs with the following settings:
The Repeater AP is set up as follows:
4. Connect AP to AP Controller
If the APs have not yet been connected to the Controller, please make sure that they are connected when processing the last step to get all the necessary configurations.
5. Connect Repeater AP to remote Location
After the APs received the configuration, connect the Repeater AP to the remote location with either a power supply or a PoE Injector.
6. Check Result
The APs should be connected via ZyMesh after deploying them:
