Hello @MauriceB
There is a user guide available in the Downloads and Resources part of https://service-provider.zyxel.com/emea/en/products/dsl-cpe/vdsl/vmg8623vmg3625emg5523emg3525-t50b-series#
You will need to give your name to download it, but that user guide should give you help.
The user guide is also available at https://spdl.zyxel.com/VMG8623-T50B/user_guide/VMG8623-T50B_1.pdf and find the section called Wireless.
Kind regards,

Thank you Tony. I have gone through the user guide, but still I can't find how to setup the router form "router" mode to "access point" mode.0

Hello @MauriceB
You're welcome.
The EMG3525-T50B is not a standalone access point.
It is a router, with WiFi access available to it.
- see section 1.1.6 of the User Guide, and chapter 7 of the User Guide.

Thank you, but I think you are misunderstanding me. You get a router with wireless access yes, then you get repeaters, range extenders and access point. Access points work in the same principle as range extenders/repeaters but the model I have do not have range extender/repeater options.
My router must connect to my internet router and distribute internet access to an area in the house with low quality connection, just as a range extender or repeater would do.0 -
Hello @MauriceB
You're welcome.
I suggest that the EMG3525-T50B does not do what you want.
Zyxel have their Multy-X WiFi mesh products see https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wifi-system/ac3000-tri-band-wifi-system-multy-x , and also WiFi Range Extender WRE2206 see https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wifi-extender/wireless-n300-range-extender-wre2206
and lots of other Wireless products including Access Points, see https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wireless and https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wifi-extender
Personally, I have used TP-Link RE300 WiFi range extenders with my Zyxel router in order to provide WiFi coverage in my home.

Ah, so it is only a fibre router. Thank you for the assistance. Now I can throw this thing away or give it to the church.2
