Profile Name Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile’s name. Spaces and
underscores are allowed.
802.11 Band Select whether this radio would use the 2.4G or 5G band.
802.11 Mode Select how to let wireless clients connect to the AP.
If 802.11 Band is set to 2.4G:
• 11b/g: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the AP. The AP adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the
wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.
• 11n: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the AP.
• 11ax: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11n, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the AP. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with 802.11ax,
the AP will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and so on.
If 802.11 Band is set to 5G:
• 11a: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the AP.
• 11n: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the AP.
• 11ac: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, and IEEE802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the AP. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with 802.11ac, the AP will
communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and so on.
• 11ax: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11ac, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the AP. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with 802.11ax,
the AP will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11ac, and so on.
Channel Width Select the wireless channel bandwidth you want the AP to use.
A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps
(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to
300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ). An IEEE 802.11ac-specific 80MHz channel offers
speeds of up to 1.3Gbps.
40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless
clients must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a
location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 80 MHz channels, select 20/40MHz or 20/
40/80MHz to allow the AP to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
Note: If the environment has poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the AP will switch to
a lower bandwidth.
