The IEEE 802.11n interface includes configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
The 11n Router’s radio can operate in six modes, mixed 802.11b/g/n,
mixed 802.11b/g, mixed 802.11g/n, 802.11n only, 802.11b only, or
802.11g only. Note that 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b, and
802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11b/g at slower data transmit
rates.
The 11n Router supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces. One
VAP is the primary (Network Name SSID), and the other one is referred to
as “Multiple SSID1.” 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.
Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or
application traffic. All VAPs can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the
clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a physical
access point.

The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local
regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.
