Configure the Dual WLAN card as two Access Point


Introduction

The ZyAIR G-3000 supports Dual WLAN interface that can operate two WLAN card in one device. Another card can be added using the extension (removable) slot on the side panel of the ZyAIR G-3000.  

There are three combinations when we configure the Build in wireless card  as Access Point mode in the ZyAIR G-3000.

1. (Build in wireless card) AP mode +  (Removable wireless card) AP mode

2. (Build in wireless card) AP mode +  (Removable wireless card) Bridge/Repeater mode

3. (Build in wireless card) AP mode +  (Removable wireless card) AP+Bridge mode

Here, we give a example in AP mode + AP mode for your reference. Please do not use the same channel for both wireless interface. That will  reduce effects of radio interference.
