In some regions, you can select DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channels that operate in the 5 GHz band. Make sure that you select a channel that is not already in use by another access point in your airspace. You can also select Manual, then select a specific channel. Dynamic Channel Selection is also enabled by default that scans the network at regular intervals (default is every 12 hours) to find a channel with the least interference. You can specify the specific channels available from the Candidate Channels selection list. In this mode, the access point automatically selects a quiet channel with the least interference from the available channels in the selected band. The available channels depend on the country of operation, wireless mode, and channel width you select.īy default, the preferred channel is set to Auto. 802.11ac - This mode enables devices that use 802.11a/n/ac to connect to the access point.802.11ax (default) - This mode enables wireless devices that use 802.11a/n/ac/ax to connect to the access point.802.11ax - This mode enables wireless devices that use 802.11b/g/n/ax to connect to the access point.


The country of operation of the access point is automatically detected by WatchGuard Cloud. In the Radio Settings page for an access point, you can configure the wireless mode, channels, channel width, and transmit power for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Click the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio to configure the settings for the selected radio.Select the access point you want to configure.To configure access point radio settings in WatchGuard Cloud: The 5 GHz band supports faster data rates at shorter distances than the 2.4 GHz band and has more non-overlapping channels available to reduce interference.However, the 2.4 GHz band is very congested with a lot of interference and few non-overlapping channels from which to select (1, 6, 11). The 2.4 GHz band and has a much better range than a 5 GHz wireless network because it uses longer wavelengths.

For more information about how to create wireless networks, see Configure Access Point SSID Settings. Wireless radio settings are applied globally to the wireless networks you configure. WatchGuard access points have two radios and can operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands at the same time. WatchGuard Cloud-managed Access Points (AP130, AP330, AP332CR, AP430CR, AP432) This topic applies to Wi-Fi 6 access points you manage in WatchGuard Cloud (AP130, AP330, AP430CR, AP432).
