11.2.2 Wireless Health Radio and Station Actions
The following table describes the action commands available for the wireless health radio and station.
You must be in the configuration mode to configure a specified radio profile before you can use the
commands. Commands that do not have IPv6 specified in the description are for IPv4.
11.2.3 Wireless Health Command Examples
For how the APs wireless network performance is improved, see Section 11.1 on page 104 for more
information.
You can set the wireless health action aggressiveness to different levels to decide when the Zyxel
Device scans for a better WiFi channel or channel bandwidth to improve the APs wireless network
performance.
A low aggressiveness level will temporarily disconnect and scan for a better WiFi channel or channel
bandwidth only when there is low level traffic in the network.
A high aggressiveness level will temporarily disconnect and scan for a better WiFi channel or channel
bandwidth when there is medium or low level traffic in the network.
