module it could be 2.4 or 5 GHz

Prior to setting up an access point, it is always a good idea to run a network scan
for getting a list of neighboring WLAN networks and then choose the less interfering
channel. Please keep in mind that two adequate channels are required for getting good
throughputs with 802.11n in the 40 MHz radio band.
Running in client mode, you can select the network to which you want to connect to
and enter the required authentication settings. You may also perform a WLAN network
scan and pick the settings from the discovered information directly. The credentials can
be obtained by the operator of your WLAN access point.
WLAN Interfaces
An access point can define up to 4 networks being broadcasted. The networks can
be individually bridged to a LAN interface or operate as dedicated interface in routing-
mode.
