Scenario: I have an existing SSID through my current router, and I want to use the Zyxel AP to extend this network. What steps should I take?

Answer:

Go to the AP's local WEB GUI, add the SSID using the same SSID name and security method as the router's. The steps to create the SSID here:

To ensure that wireless clients can roam smoothly between APs and the router, please maintain an overlapping coverage of 15% to 20% between the two devices.
