Radio
The radio is the physical part of the WAP that creates a wireless network. The radio settings on the WAP
control the behavior of the radio and determine what kind of wireless signals the WAP emits.
To configure the wireless radio settings:
Step 1 Select Wireless > Radio.
Step 2 Radio Interface:
• Radio 1 (5G) — Support 5G Radio with a 4x4 MIMO mode.
• Radio 2 (2.4 G) — Support 2.4G Radio with a 3x3 MIMO mode.
Step 3 In the radio setting per interface area, select the radio interface to which the configuration parameters will be applied.
Step 4 In the Basic Settings area, configure these parameters for the selected radio interface:
Local regulations may prohibit the use of certain radio modes. Not all modes are available in all countries.
Note
• Radio — Check Enable to enable the radio interface.
• Wireless Network Mode — The IEEE 802.11 standard and frequency the radio uses. The default value of Mode
is 802.11b/g/n for Radio 2 and 802.11a/n/ac for Radio 1. For each radio, select one of the available modes.
Radio 1 (5Ghz) supports the following radio modes:
• 802.11a — 802.11a clients can connect to the WAP device.
• 802.11a/n/ac — 802.11a clients, 802.11n, and 802.11ac clients operating in the 5-GHz frequency can connect
to the WAP device.
