Turn a radio on or off

By default, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 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. Open 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.
A login window opens.

Features
Description
From the menu, select the transmission power of the radio. You can select
100%(Max), 50%, 25%, 12.5%, or 4%(Min). The default is 100%(Max).
Note: If two or more access points are operating in the same area and on the same
channel, interference can occur. In this a 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.
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).
