Concurrent Dual Band Selection

You can enable or disable the dual-band frequencies — 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz — that are supported by the
router. You can manually specify the channel number for each band or choose Auto Channel Selection and
these settings are applied to all virtual wireless networks. Depending on the radio selected, the WLAN network
transmits and receives data on the specific frequency, or channel selected. Selecting an appropriate channel
width for each radio can improve the WLAN throughput

Configuring 2.4 GHz Radio

To configure the 2.4 GHz radio, follow these steps:
Step 1
Click Wireless >Basic Settings > 2.4G.
Step 2 Check Radio to enable the 2.4 GHz band.
Step 3
Select the network band mode from the Wireless Network Mode drop-down list.
Check Enable to enable wireless isolation within the SSID. When wireless isolation is
configured, wireless clients will not be able to see or communicate with each other when
connected to the same SSID.
To prioritize and queue the traffic according to the Access Category (AC), check Enable
to enable the Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME). Enabling WME may result in
more efficient throughput, but higher error rates within a noisy Radio Frequency (RF)
environment.
Check to enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). It allows up to two usage modes: PIN
and Push Button. If enabled, click Configure and set up the WPS parameters in the
pop-up. For more information on configuring WPS, see
Specify the VLAN ID, the SSID is mapped to. Devices connecting to this network are
assigned addresses on this VLAN. The default VLAN ID is 1 and if all the devices are
on the same network, this can be left unchanged.
Specify the time period if the SSID is available only for certain hours every day or for
certain days in every week. Thus, you can protect your network, by specifying when
users can access the network, thereby restricting access to it.
You can use MAC Filtering to permit or deny access to the wireless network based on
the MAC (hardware) address of the requesting device. Check to enable MAC filtering
for the SSID. If enabled, click Configure and specify the MAC blacklist (devices to be
prevented from accessing) and white list (devices to be permitted to access) for the
wireless network.
Check Enable to enable the Captive Portal verification for the SSID. Next, select a portal
profile from the drop-down list. If enabled, you can also click New and configure a new
profile. See Captive Portal, on page 69
