Supported Modes of Operation for APs
AP300/AP400 and AP1000 with two radios can have both set to 5.0 GHz, but both
radios cannot be set to 2.4 GHz. If you want to use both radios on 2.4 GHz, put the
radios on separate channels.
AP300 and AP1000 radios default to the following bands:
Security Modes
Although AP300/AP400/AP1000 support all security modes supported by the 802.11i
security standard (WEP, WPA, WPA2 and mixed mode), 802.11n supports only clear
and WPA2 security. Even though you can configure any security mode for 802.11n, you
only gain 11n benefits using WPA2 or clear. Because of this, any 11n client connected
to an SSID configured for WEP or WPA will behave like a legacy ABG client. An 802.11n
ESSID configured for either WEP or WPA has no 802.11n rates for that ESSID. If you
configure an ESSID for Mixed Mode, 802.11n rates are enabled only for the WPA2
clients; WPA clients behave like a legacy ABG client. See the chart below for details.
