The IEEE 802.11n interface includes configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
The Wireless-N Access Point/Repeater's radio can operate in six modes,
mixed 802.11b/g/n, mixed 802.11b/g, mixed 802.11g/n, 802.11n only,
802.11b only, or 802.11g only. Note that 802.11g is backward compatible
with 802.11b, and 802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11b/g at
slower data transmit rates.
The Wireless-N Access Point/Repeater supports four virtual access point
(VAP) interfaces. One VAP is the primary (Network Name SSID), and the
the others are referred to as "Multiple SSID1~SSID3." Each VAP functions
as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own Service Set
Identification (SSID) and security settings. However, most radio signal
parameters apply to all VAP interfaces.
Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or
application traffic. All VAPs can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the
clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a physical
access point.
The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local

regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.
