Understanding Radio Modes

The radio mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard that the radio uses. The radio mode determines the types of wireless clients that can connect to the access point.

Note: The modes available on the AX411 Access Point depend on the country code setting.

For each radio, select one of the following modes:

• IEEE 802.11a—Only 802.11a clients can connect to the access point.
• IEEE 802.11b/g—802.11b and 802.11g clients can connect to the access point.
• IEEE 802.11a/n—802.11a clients and 802.11n clients operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency can connect to the access point.
• IEEE 802.11b/g/n—802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n clients operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency can connect to the access point. This is the default mode.
• 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n—Only 802.11n clients operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency can connect to the access point.
• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n—Only 802.11n clients operating in the 5 GHz frequency can connect to the access point.
