10 Mesh Radio Configuration
The EnRoute500 has an 802.11a radio dedicated to mesh backhaul traffic. The settings for this
radio are independent of any settings for the radio used for the EnRoute500’s built-in virtual
access points. The channel, SSID< and encryption settings for the mesh radio must be the
same on all EnRoute500s in a given mesh neighborhood for them to be able to communicate.
