5.12 Smart Scan

Each radio, depending on the country of operation, provides a large number of channels for data
transmission. This means that when a MU roams from one AP to another, it has to scan all available channels
for that radio to find the WLAN it was connected to. This scan process takes time depending on the number
of channels to scan.
