Interface Configuration
This section is duplicated for each SSID. Settings only apply to the selected
SSID.
Note
: Various roles in the “Interface configuration” section have an
“advanced settings” tab, which you must not confuse with the “advanced
settings” for the “device configuration” section just above.
Loops pitfall in products with more than one radio
In products equipped with more than one radio card, you can create a
wireless loop by activating one radio as Access Point with some SSID, and
the other radio as Client with the same SSID.
Since the factory default is to have both radios are bridged together
internally and set to AP role with the same SSID, you can fall in this trap by
simply activating both radios and changing one of them from AP role to
client role.
The product quickly enters a high-priority data transfer radio 1/wireless/
radio 2/internal bridge/radio 1. Then, the only way to recover is to reset the
product to factory settings.

Supported roles are:
Access point
Isolating Access Point
Client (connecting to an Access Point)
Note
: The old “Transparent Client” role is now a subset of the
generic “Client (infrastructure)” role, and must be configured in the
“advanced settings” tab of the “interface configuration” section.
Repeater (combination of an AP and a client targeting the next AP)

Point to multipoint station (ad-hoc mode)
