AP Settings
AP Profile Name
This field specifies the name of this AP profile.
SSID
These buttons specify which wireless networks will use this AP profile. You can also
select the frequencies at which each network will transmit. Please note that the Peplink
Balance does not detect whether the AP is capable of transmitting at both frequencies.
Instructions to transmit at unsupported frequencies will be ignored by the AP.
Operating
Country
This drop-down menu specifies the national / regional regulations which the AP should
follow.

If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be available and
the maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400 mW).

If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The
maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in US.
All US models are fixed to US channels only.
Preferred
Frequency
These buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to broadcast.
This feature will only work for APs that can transmit at both 5.4GHz and 5GHz
frequencies.
5 GHz Protocol
This section displays the 5 GHz protocols your APs are using.
5GHz Channel
Bonding
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature enabled, the
Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
5 GHz Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 5 GHz 802.11 channel to be utilized. If Auto is set, the
system will perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the
most suitable channel automatically.
2.4 GHz Protocol
This section displays the 2.4 GHz protocols your APs are using.
2.4 GHz Channel
Bonding
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature enabled, the
Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
2.4 GHz Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel to be utilized. Available options are
from 1 to 11 and from 1 to 13 for the North America region and Europe region,
respectively. (Channel 14 is only available when the country is selected as Japan with
protocol 802.11b.) If Auto is set, the system will perform channel scanning based on the
scheduled time set and choose the most suitable channel automatically.
Management
VLAN ID
This field specifies the VLAN ID to tag to management traffic, such as AP to AP
controller communication traffic. The value is 0 by default, meaning that no VLAN tagging
will be applied. NOTE: change this value with caution as alterations may result in loss of
connection to the AP controller.
Power Boost
A
With this option enabled, the AP under this profile will transmit using additional power.
Please note that using this option with several APs in close proximity will lead to
