Manage the Basic Radio Features
This chapter describes how you can manage the basic radio settings of the access point.
For information about the advanced radio settings, see Manage the Advanced Radio
Features on page 193.
CAUTION: If you change a radio feature on the 2.4 GHz radio, the change affects all
WiFi networks that broadcast on the 2.4 GHz radio. Similarly, if you change a radio
feature on the 5 GHz radio, the change affects all WiFi networks that broadcast on the
5 GHz radio. If the change is not specific to one radio, the change affects all WiFi networks

connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
