This configuration is global for all wireless networks. Some options may not be available or allowed
depending on your country's wireless standards.
1530 / 1550 appliances only: The wireless client search options depend on the frequency that the
appliance is set to. The Check Point Appliance can be configured to only one frequency at a time and
is set to 2.4 GHz by default. If you change the radio settings to 802.11 ac or 802.11 ac/n, the
frequency automatically changes to 5 GHz. The
Home
>
System
page shows the wireless radio
status.
1570 / 1590 appliances only: There are two radio transmitters: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Each network is
configured separately under a specified transmitter.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) detects radar signals that must be protected against interference from
5.0 GHz (802.11ac/n) radios. When these signals are detected, the operating frequency of the 5.0 GHz
(802.11ac/n) radio switches to one that does not interfere with the radar systems. DFS is enabled by default.
