This chapter first provides an overview of how to configure the wireless LAN on your ZyXEL 
Device, and then gives step-by-step guidelines showing how to configure your ZyXEL Device 
for some example scenarios. 

This section shows how to choose which wireless operating mode you should use on the 
ZyXEL Device, and the steps you should take to set up the wireless LAN in each wireless

 and 

• Use Access Point operating mode if you want to allow wireless clients to access your 

wired network, all using the same security and Quality of Service (QoS) settings. See 

• Use Bridge/Repeater operating mode (NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only) if you want to 

use the ZyXEL Device to communicate with other access points. See 

 for details.

The ZyXEL Device is a bridge when other APs access your wired Ethernet network 
through the ZyXEL Device.
The ZyXEL Device is a repeater when it has no Ethernet connection and allows other APs 
to communicate with one another through the ZyXEL Device. 

• Use AP+Bridge operating mode (NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only) if you want to use the 

ZyXEL Device as an access point (see above) while also communicating with other access 
points. See 

• Use MBSSID operating mode if you want to use the ZyXEL Device as an access point 

with some groups of users having different security or QoS settings from other groups of 
users. See 

 for details.
