Change the WiFi mode for a radio

By default, all types of WiFi clients can access a WiFi network on the access point, that
is, the WiFi modes on the access point support 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11na, 802.11ng,
802.11bg, 802.11b, and 802.11a clients. You can change the WiFi modes to limit access
to certain types of clients.
Note: You cannot specify the wireless mode for the 6 GHz radio because that radio
applies to the 11ax wireless mode only.
