●
Frequency Band
Specify the frequency band. In client mode, dual-frequency operation is also possible.
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
data throughput.
●
WLAN Mode
Select the required transmission standard for the configured frequency band.
– WLAN Mode 2.4 GHz
Specify the transmission standard for the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The selection
depends on the country setting.
– WLAN Mode 5 GHz
Specify the transmission standard for the 5 GHz frequency band. The selection
depends on the country setting.
●
DFS (802.11h)
Enables or disables the "Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)" function.
– enabled
If the access point discovers a disruption on the current channel, for example due to a
primary user, it automatically switches to an alternative channel. DFS is also
necessary for using certain wireless channels in the 5 GHz band.
– disabled
The DFS function is not used.
●
Outdoor Mode
– enabled
In outdoor mode, the selection of country-dependent channels and the transmit power
for operation are extended for outdoor use.

The device is being operated in indoor mode. In indoor mode, the selection of country-
dependent channels and the transmit power for operation in a building are restricted.
