• A single mesh point is supported on multiple radios for a single AP. You can use dierent
channels for each hop of a multiple hop mesh network. This can improve air time utilization and
possibly increase throughput. However, multiple hops do not improve latency, so a best practice
is to keep the number of hops less than two.
• The AP4000 6 GHz radio is supported in a mesh network.
• Radio settings for the root-AP and non-root APs must match.
• When you add or remove a mesh point from a radio, the AP will reboot.
• Dual-band support is available with Mesh Point. When one radio is configured for Mesh Point,
both radios can provide service.
• The recommended Poll Timeout setting for non-root APs is 60 seconds.
