Why two default SSID profiles per radio for NWA210AX

Trying to understand why this is so. The default config of a new NWA210AX access point has two MBSSID profiles for each radio. Each profile is the same SSID and same parameters. A Wifi scan shows the 2.4Ghz SSID appearing on two different MAC addresses and the same SSID appearing on the 5Ghz radio also with two different MAC addresses. I assume there are two MAC addresses on each radio because there are two profiles on each radio. The question is: WHY IS THIS THE DEFAULT and WHY ARE THERE TWO ??

Hi @Terry_D
Welcome to Zyxel community.
Zyxel AP broadcast a default SSID named “Zyxel_XXXX” with last 4 letters of mac address.
According to your description, do you see four MBSSIDs of Zyxel_XXXX and separate into two radios?
Please correct me if any mis-understanding and provide a screenshot will be helpful for us to clarify.
Thank you
Regards,
Bella
