ZyXEL Device function as a bridge and access point simultaneously. See the section on
applications for more information.
TKIP (ZyAIR Series
Compatible)
Select this to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your
WDS. This option is compatible with other ZyXEL access points including that
support WDS security. Use this if the other access points on your network
support WDS security but do not have an AES option.
Note: Check your other AP’s documentation to make sure it
supports WDS security.
Note: At the time of writing, this option is compatible with other
ZyXEL NWA Series and G-3000/G-3000H access points
only.
AES
Select this to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on your
WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the other access
points on your network support it for the WDS.
Note: At the time of writing, this option is compatible with other
ZyXEL NWA Series access points only.
Index
This is the index number of the bridge connection.
Active
Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, clear the
check box to disable it.
Remote Bridge MAC

PSK
Type a pre-shared key (PSK) from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters
(including spaces and symbols). You must also set the peer device to use the
same pre-shared key. Each peer device can use a different pre-shared key.
