Turn A Radio On Or Off - NETGEAR WAX638E User Manual

Insight Managed WiFi 6E AXE7800 Tri-band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX638E
Note: If two or more access points are operating in the same area and on the
same channel, interference can occur. In this situation, you might want to decrease
the output power for the access point. Make sure that you comply with the
regulatory requirements for total radio frequency (RF) output power in your
country.
• 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.

and WiFi clients might need to reconnect.

Turn a radio on or off

By default, the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz , and 6 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.
