1.2.6 Configuring Dual WLAN Adaptors

The ZyXEL Device is equipped with dual wireless adaptors. This means you can configure
two different wireless networks to operate simultaneously.
In the following example, the ZyXEL Device (Z) uses WLAN1 in AP+Bridge mode to allow
IEEE 802.11b/g APs and clients to communicate with the wired network, and WLAN2 in AP
mode to allow IEEE 802.11a clients to access the wired network.
