The IEEE 802.11n interfaces include configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
The access point can operate in two modes, mixed 802.11g/n (2.4 GHz), or
mixed 802.11a/n (5 GHz). Note that the radio cannot not operate at
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz modes at the same time.
Each radio supports eight virtual access point (VAP) interfaces, referred to
as VAP0 ~ VAP7. 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 access point supports up to a total of 64
wireless clients across all VAP interfaces.
