Radio Settings
– 65 –
The following items are displayed on this page:
Status — Enables or disables the wireless service on this interface.
Mode — Selects the mode in which the AP will function.
Access Point (Auto-WDS) — The AP operates as an access point in WDS
mode, which accepts connections from APs in Client WDS mode. (This is
the default setting.)
In this mode, the AP provides services to clients as a normal access point.
WDS is used to automatically search for and connect to other AP nodes
using the same SSID and security settings.
Client — The AP can provide a wireless connection to another AP, as well
as pass information from or to locally wired host
s and wireless clients.
802.11 Mode — Defines the radio operation mode.
Radio 2.4 GHz — Default: 11ax; Options: 11b+g+n/ax
Radio 5 GHz — Default: 11ax; Options: 11a, 11a+n, 11ac+a+n, 11ax
Radio 6 GHz — Default: 11ax; Options: 11ax
Channel Bandwidth — The AP options for channel bandwidth include 20, 40
80, and 160 MHz. The available channel bandwidth is dependent on the
802.11 Mode. (Default: 20 MHz on 2.4 GHz Radio, 80 MHz on 5 GHz/6 GHz
Radio; Options: 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80MHz, 160MHz)
20MHz — For 802.11b+g+n and 802.11ax
40MHz — For 802.11b+g+n, 802.11a, 802.11a+n, 802.11ac+a+n
and 802.11ax
80MHz — For 802.11ac+a+n and 802.11ax
160MHz — (Supported only on EAP104 and OAP101 5 GHz radio, and
OAP101-6E 5GHz and 6GHz radios) For 802.11ac+a+n and 802.11ax
Channel — The radio channel that the access point uses to communicate with
wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set
the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, for 11g/n 20 MHz mode you can
deploy up to three access points in th
e same area using channels 1, 6, 11.
N
ote that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used
by the access point to which it is linked. (The available channels are dependent
on the 802.11 Mode, Channel Bandwidth, and Country Code settings.)
