5 GHz Channel
Selection Method
Select how you want to specify the channels the Zyxel Device switches between for 5 GHz
operation.
Select Auto to have the Zyxel Device automatically select the best channel.
Select manual to select the individual channels the Zyxel Device switches between.
Note: The method is automatically set to auto when no channel is selected or
any one of the previously selected channels is not supported.
Channel ID This field is available only when you set Channel Selection to DCS and set 5 GHz Channel
Selection Method to manual.
Select the channels that you want the Zyxel Device to use.
6 GHz Channel
Selection Method
This field is available when you set Channel Selection to DCS.
Select how you want to specify the channels the Zyxel Device switches between for 6 GHz
operation.
Select auto to have the Zyxel Device automatically select the best channel.
Select manual to select the individual channels the Zyxel Device switches between.
Note: The method is automatically set to auto when no channel is selected or
any one of the previously selected channels is not supported.
Channel ID This field is available only when you set Channel Selection to DCS and set 6 GHz Channel
Selection Method to manual.
Select the channels that you want the Zyxel Device to use.
Time Interval Select this option to have the Zyxel Device survey the other APs within its broadcast radius
at the end of the specified time interval.
DCS Time Interval This field is available when you set Channel Selection to DCS and select the Time Interval
option.
Enter a number of minutes. This regulates how often the Zyxel Device surveys the other APs
within its broadcast radius. If the channel on which it is currently broadcasting suddenly
comes into use by another AP, the Zyxel Device will then dynamically select the next
available clean channel or a channel with lower interference.
Schedule Select this option to have the Zyxel Device survey the other APs within its broadcast radius
at a specific time on selected days of the week.
Start Time Specify the time of the day (in 24-hour format) to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to
automatically scan and find a less-used channel.
Week Days Select each day of the week to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to automatically scan and
find a less-used channel.
Advanced Settings
Guard Interval This field is available only when the channel width is 20/40MHz or 20/40/80MHz and the
802.11 Mode is either 11n or 11ac.
Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long.
The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to
reduce interference. Reducing the interval increases data transfer rates but also increases
interference. Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces
interference.
