broadcast from the same access point radio are considered virtual APs
and are grouped to count as one AP. The feature is turned On by default.
Toggle the On/Off switch to Off to turn it off.
•
APs are grouped by BSSID patterns, based on matching the lower 4 bits.
• APs with the same beacon name and within the same band are grouped,
regardless of their BSSIDs.
• APs on the same channel whose beacon broadcast frames contain
matching optional AP Name elements.
