Note
Configuring WLAN interfaces of the W786-2IA RJ-45 for different frequency bands
If both WLAN interfaces are configured for the same frequency band on this device, there
may be mutual influence or interference. This applies in particular when there is a high
data throughput.
●
WLAN Mode
Select the required transmission standard for the configured frequency band.
–
WLAN Mode 2.4 GHz
Specify the transmission standard for the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The selection
depends on the country setting.
–
WLAN Mode 5 GHz
Specify the transmission standard for the 5 GHz frequency band. The selection
depends on the country setting.
●
DFS (802.11h)
–
Enabled
If the access point discovers a disruption on the current channel, for example due to a
primary user, it automatically switches to an alternative channel. You specify the
alternative channel on the "Access Point Settings" Basic Wizard page. DFS is also the
requirement for the use of certain wireless channels. This can only be enabled in the 5
GHz band.
–
Disabled
The DFS function is not used.
●
Outdoor Mode

In outdoor mode, the selection of country-dependent channels and the transmit power
for operation are extended for outdoor use.
