Note 
Configuring WLAN interfaces of the W786-2IA RJ-45 for different frequency bands 
If both WLAN interfaces are configured for the same frequency band on this device, there 
may be mutual influence or interference.
 This applies in particular when there is a high

WLAN Mode 2.4 GHz/WLAN Mode 5 GHz
 
Select the required transmission standard for the configured frequency band. The 
selection depends on the country setting. 
–  Auto (in client mode only) 
The transmission standard is determined automatically (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 
+ 5 GHz). 
–  802.11a 
The transmission standard IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz) is set. 
–  802.11g 
The transmission standard IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz) is set. This transmission standard 
is downwards compatible with IEEE 802.11b 
–  802.11n 
The transmission standard IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) is set. This 
transmission standard is downwards compatible with IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 
802.11g. 
–  802.11 only 
The transmission standard IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) is set. This 
transmission standard is downwards compatible with IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 
802.11g. 
 
Note 
If you select the transmission standard "802.11n", "802.11n only" or "Auto" (only in client 
mode), you cannot set the threshold value of the frag
mentation length see 
"Fragmentation Length Threshold" in "Interfaces > WLAN > Advanced".
