Radio Settings
The IEEE 802.11 wireless interfaces include configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
The access point can operate in several radio modes, 802.11b+g+n/ax (2.4
GHz), 802.11a/a+n/ac+a+n/ax (5 GHz), or 802.11ax (6 GHz). Note that the
dual-band access points can operate at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same time, and
the tri-band access points can op
erate at 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz at the sa
me
time. The web interface identifies the radio configuration pages as:
Radio 2.4 GHz — the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax radio interface
Radio 5 GHz — the 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax radio interface
Radio 6 GHz — the 6 GHz 802.11ax radio interface
Each radio supports 16 virtual access point (VAP) interfaces based on the SSIDs,
referred to as SSID1 ~ SSID16. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and
can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security set
tings.
H
owever, most radio signal parameters apply to all VAP interfaces. Traffic to
specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or application traffic. The
clients associate with each VAP in the same way as they would with separate
physical access points.
