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) or 802.11a/a+n/ac+a+n/ax (5 GHz). Note that the dual-band access
points can operate at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same 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
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
settings. However, 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.
