Wireless Networking Concepts
• The AP-4 coverage area is larger than the AP-5 coverage area. The
AP-4 operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band; the AP-5 operates in
the 5 GHz band. Products that operate in the 2.4 GHz band offer
greater range than products that operate in the 5 GHz band.
• An AP-5 operates at faster data rates than the AP-4. 802.11a
products like the AP-5 operate at speeds of up to 54 Mbits/sec (108
Mbits/sec in Turbo mode); 802.11b products like the AP-4 operate
at speeds of up to 11 Mbits/sec.
• All Access Points in the same vicinity should use a unique,
independent Channel. By default, the AP automatically scans for
available Channels during boot-up but you can also set the Channel
manually (see
• Access Points that use the same Channel should be installed as far
away from each other as possible to reduce potential interference.
