1.1 Overview

the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring.

ZyxelDRAFTMulty WiFi System allows you to quickly set up and monitor your WiFi network using the Zyxel Multy app. You can install two or more Multy Devices in a Multy WiFi System, also called a Multy Site, to extend

Note: At the time of writing, a maximum of four Multy Devices (one primary Multy and up to three extender Multys) can be used in a Multy Site.

Multy Devices can act either as a primary Multy or an extender Multy. As shown in the next figure, a primary Multy (PM) is connected to a modem or router. An extender Multy (EM) connects wirelessly to the primary Multy to expand its range. See Table 2 on page 7 to know which Multy devices can be used as a primary Multy or extender Multy.

Users can manage their Multy Sites and Multy Devices using the Zyxel Multy app, as shown below.

Multy WiFi System User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Get to Know Your Multy WiFi System

In the following example, the first Multy Device connects to the router to act as the primary Multy (PM), while the other Multy Devices are extender Multys (E1 or E2) to expand wireless coverage. The extender Multys help relay communications from wireless clients to the primary Multy and router.

Multy devices include the following:

• WSQ60 (Multy Plus)

• WSQ50 (Multy X)

• WSQ20 (Multy Mini)

• WSR30 (Multy U)

Multy U is designed for home use while Multy X and its extender, Multy Mini, are designed for small businesses. Multy Plus is designed for medium-sized businesses. The differences between these devices are summarized in the next table.

Chapter 1 Get to Know Your Multy WiFi System

A Tri-Band WiFi System emits one 2.4G wireless signal and two 5G wireless signals. Dual-Band WiFi Systems emit one 2.4G signal and one 5G signal. “Max. Bandwidth” refers to the sum of the bandwidths of all wireless signals (2.4G and 5G) emitted by the Multy Device.

The next table shows which Multy Device(s) you can use as extender Multys for a given primary Multy.

1.2 How to Manage Your Multy Sites

You can use the following way to manage your Multy WiFi System.

Zyxel Multy App

The Zyxel Multy app allows Multy Site setup and management from your mobile device. This User’s Guide provides information about key uses of the Zyxel Multy app.

1.3 Getting Started

To set up a Multy Site, you need to:

1 Have a broadband modem or router that is connected to the Internet.

2 Get at least one Multy Device. If you have multiple Multy Devices, the first one you install should be connected to the modem or router. Other Multy Devices can be placed in different rooms to extend WiFi range by wirelessly connecting to the first Multy Device.

3 Install the Zyxel Multy app and turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone. Make sure your phone also has Internet access.

4 Connect the first Multy Device (see Section 2.1 on page 8).

18).

2.1 Hardware Connections

1Use the included power cable to connect the Multy Device’s power port to a power outlet.

2If youDRAFTare installing the first Multy Device, connect the Internet port of the Multy Device to a broadband modem or router that is connected to the Internet.

3You may use Ethernet cables to connect other devices to your Multy Device.
