Wi-Fi Radio

• AP type:
• Indoor, dual radio, 5GHz and 2.4GHz 802.11ax 2x2 MIMO
• 5GHz radio:
• Two spatial stream (SU/MU) MIMO for up to 1.2Gbps wireless data rate (HE80)
• 2.4GHz radio:
• Two spatial stream (SU/MU) MIMO for up to 287Mbps wireless data rate (HE20)
• Note: HE40 operation is supported in 2.4GHz, but uncommon and not recommended for enterprise deployments
• Maximum number of associated client devices:
• Up to 256 associated client devices per radio
• Maximum number of BSSIDs:
