802.11AC Configuration
Path: Wireless > General > Radio Settings > 5 GHz
This section provides configuration options to use the DSR-500AC or DSR-1000AC advanced wireless capabilities
in the 5 GHz band.
With 802.11AC, data throughput can be significantly increased as compared to 802.11n rates as the channel
bandwidth can be as high as 80 MHz. The available channels and spacing bandwidth are regulated by the
regulatory setting of the specific country the DSR-500AC or DSR-1000AC is deployed in. By selecting 802.11AC
rates, the 5 GHz radio will use the enhance capability of the new design and will send more data in a single
packet (via wireless frame aggregation).
