Radio Configuration Overview

The AX411 Access Point supports dual radios, each of which can be configured independently. A radio can operate in any one of the radio modes specified by IEEE wireless networking standards such as 802.11a, 802.11b/g, or 802.11n. The radio mode determines what type of wireless clients can connect to the access point. The radio on the access point can be configured to support just one type of wireless client or a mixed mode where different types of clients can connect to the radio.

Note: Applying changes to radio settings can cause the access point to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients that are connected to the access point will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change radio settings when WLAN traffic is low.
