2.5 Configure IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards
This section describes the different IEEE 802.11 standard configurations for the Access
Point. The standards use different bandwidths and network speed. The IEEE 802.11a
and IEEE 802.11ac standards operate only at 5 GHz, IEEE 802.11b/g operate at 2.4 GHz
and IEEE 802.11n can operate at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
2.5.1 Configure IEEE 802.11b standard
