11.3.2 Rogue AP: Friendly AP

The friendly AP list displays details of all the access points in your area that you know are not a threat. If you have more than one AP in your network, you need to configure this list to include your other APs. If your wireless network overlaps with that of a neighbor (for example) you should also add these APs to the list, as they do not compromise your own network’s security. If you do not add them to the friendly AP list, these access points will appear in the Rogue AP list each time the ZyXEL Device scans.
