How to Connect to Radio Interfaces
The 802.11b/g standard operates in the 2.4 GHz band and the 802.11a standard in
the 5 GHz band. The 802.11n standard operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands. Note that 802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11a, b, and g.
Once the AP is installed and powered on, wireless clients can connect to the
802.11b/g/n radio interface using the 2.4 GHz band and to the 802.11a/n radio
interface using the 5 GHz band. The radio and authentication settings for wireless
clients can be configured through management interfaces on the wireless access
