Channel: From the menu, select the WiFi channel for the radio. The available
WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the country that you selected for the
access point and on the radio. The default is Auto, which enables a radio to
automatically select the most suitable channel.
Note: You do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience
interference (which is indicated by lost connections).
Note: If you use multiple access points, reduce interference by selecting different
channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four
channels between adjacent access points (for example, in the 2.4 GHz band, use
channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
6. Click the Apply button.
A warning pop-up window displays.
7. Click the OK button.
The pop-up window closes and your settings are saved. The radio or radios restart
and WiFi clients might need to reconnect.
Turn a radio on or off
By default, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios broadcast. Turning off a radio disables
WiFi access for the associated band, which affects all WiFi networks (VAPs or SSIDs) in
that band. Turning off a radio can be helpful during configuration, network tuning, or
troubleshooting.
To turn a radio on or off:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
