Radio Settings
The IEEE 802.11n wireless interfaces include configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
The AP can operate in several radio modes, mixed 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz), or mixed
802.11a/n (5 GHz). Note that the radios 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 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n radio interface
◆ Radio 1 — the 5 GHz 802.11a/n radio interface
Each radio supports 16 virtual access point (VAP) interfaces, referred to as VAP 0 ~
VAP 15. Each VAP functions as a separate 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. The configuration options are nearly
identical, and are therefore both covered in this section of the manual. 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 access points. The AP supports up to a total of 127 wireless clients across
all VAP interfaces per radio.
