which is always the pre-configured Guest_SSID profile.
Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen.
Enable Spanning Tree
Control (STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -
compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between
any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the
ZyXEL Device.
Roaming Active Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to another
as they move from one coverage area to another. Select this checkbox to
enable roaming on the ZyXEL Device if you have two or more ZyXEL Devices
on the same subnet.
Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations
must have the same SSID to allow roaming.
