Spanning Tree 

Protocol (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 this to activate STP on the ZyXEL Device.

Enable 

Roaming

Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to another as 

they move from one coverage area to another. Select this to enable roaming on the 

ZyXEL Device if you have two or more ZyXEL Devices on the same subnet.
