2 will be cabled and one i would like to use non-cabled, if posible?
That is all possible. You still haven't confirmed if you have GUI access into the units. You need to spend some time googling how to setup Openwrt as an Access Point. This is not as easy as using the stock firmware that comes with the units, but is a lot more flexible.
Try reviewing these and then testing first- https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wifiextenders/bridgedap

No i will flash the other one as well and i will set it with the seamles connection.
What does "WPAD" do?
After it works i will try to fix the 3th without cables.
Many thnx from a beginner.
That depends if you have the full or mini version
The base WPAD version is mini,as in default router mode the wireless utilities don't need to be that complete, saving space.

Thnx! 2 of the device run as ap1 and ap2 as wired accespoints. How can i exchange the range of Ap1 wired to the last device as Ap3 unwired? I googled it but cant find. Or can i follow your last link and imagine that Ap1 is the main router and follow that process?
It took 5 seconds-

Thnx! I know this one, because you send it me earlier.
I have the next setup: main router > double wired AP 1&2. The last device were i want to place it wireless, cant connect to the main router because its to far. It can connect to AP1 wireless. So what to do?
Thnx in advance
Your question is a general Openwrt question, not related to the WSM M1. I suggest you ask the same question on the general Openwrt forum.
You are looking for a Wireless Bridge setup, WDS would probably do what you need.
You are right! I will continue there. Thnx for all the help.
Can anyone explain how these two antennas work? What does antenna 1 do, for 2.4G, for 5.2G ? Thanx for all !
Lowest antenna = Bluetooth?
yes, not used in this zyxel
From version 24.10 the GPIO for the LEDs is 528 instead of 496.
#!/bin/sh
if grep -E '^ gpio-528 .*) in hi' /sys/kernel/debug/gpio ; then
#Button led !pressed
for brightness in /sys/class/leds/*/brightness ; do
echo 0 > $brightness
done
else
#Button led pressed

Sysupgrade to 24.10.1 went fine, would anyone be interested in ubootmod?

That would be me. I would love to have more space than 32MB since it only lefts me with 18MB after installation.
Also since this device has it's own integrated switch, maybe it's possible to add networking support to uBoot? Web failsafe would be pretty cool, too.
