characteristicsandwirelesssecurityfeatures.

Theaccesspointcanoperateinseveralradiomodes,802.11a/a+n/AC(5GHz)or 
802.11b+g/b+g+n(2.4GHz).Supportedmodesdependontheaccesspointmodel. 
Notethatthedual‐bandaccesspointscanoperateat2.4GHzand5GHzatthe 
sametime.Thewebinterfaceidentifiestheradioconfigurationpagesas:

◆ Radio0— the5GHz802.11a/n/ACradiointerface

◆ Radio1—the2.4GHz802.11b/g/nradiointerface

Eachradiosupports8virtualaccesspoint(VAP)interfacesbasedontheSSIDs, 
referredtoasVAP0~VAP7.EachVAPfunctionsasasepara teaccesspoint,andcan 
beconfiguredwithitsownServiceSetIdentification(SSID)andsecuritysettings. 
However,mostradiosignalparametersapplytoallVAPinterfaces.Traffictospecific 
VAPscanbesegregatedbasedonusergroupsorapplicationtraffic.Theclients 
associatewitheachVAPinthesamewayastheywouldwithseparatephysical 
