are listed here:
- IEEE 802.11a: The access point accepts
802.11a clients.
- IEEE 802.11a/n/ac: The access point accepts
802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac clients
operating. This is the default setting for Radio2
and Radio3.
Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM) has to be enabled
(default) to use IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac.
Refer to “Configuring QoS Basic Settings” on
page 94.
Channel Select the channel for the radio from the
pull-down menu. Here are the guidelines:
- You can select only one channel.
- The channels vary by radio, bandwidth, and
country.
- Select "auto", the default setting, to have the

access point scans the available channels on
the radio and selects the one with the least
interference.
- If you select Auto, you can use the Auto
Channel Selection parameter in this window to
restrict the channels from which the access
point can choose.
- You must set the channel manually when using
the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) bridge
feature. For information, refer to “WDS Bridge
Elements” on page 115.
- To view the current active channel, refer to
“Displaying Radio Status” on page 66.
