    The AP34 has three IEEE 802.11ax data radios, which deliver up to 2x2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) with two spatial streams. The AP34 also has a fourth radio that is dedicated for scanning. The AP uses this radio for radio resource management (RRM) and wireless security. The AP can operate in either multi-user or single-user mode.
