Table 24. Common Wireless Settings
Setting Description
Radio Network (Dual-radio APs only) Allows you to change the name of the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radios (default:
Radio 2.4G and Radio 5G).
Wireless Mode
On 802.11b/g APs:
The wireless mode options include the following:
• Auto-Select: Allows both 802.11g- and 802.11b-compliant
devices to connect to the network. This is the default setting.
• 2.4GHz 54Mbps (For faster 802.11g devices only): Allows only
802.11g-compliant devices to join the network.
• 2.4GHz 11Mbps (For slower 802.11b devices only): Allows
only 802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.
On dual-radio 802.11n APs:
On dual radio 802.11n APs, the wireless mode is determined by
radio; that is, for the 2.4GHz radio, the mode is automatically set
to 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n), while for the 5GHz radio, the mode is
automatically set to 5GHz (802.11ac/a/n).
Channel This option lets you select the channel used by the network. You
can choose
SmartSelect, or choose a specific channel. If you
choose
SmartSelect, then the AP automatically selects the best
channel (encountering the least interference) to transmit the
signal.
Channel Width
(11n APs only)
On 802.11n APs, the option to choose 40 MHz channel width
theoretically provides double the data capacity of a 20 MHz
channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels
available, and more interference with other wireless signals.
On 802.11n APs, the option to choose 80 MHz channel width
theoretically provides four times the data capacity of a 20 MHz
channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels
available, and more interference with other wireless signals.
