Customizing the Radio Settings of an AP

If you want the radio settings of an AP to be different from the default radio settings of the venue, you can override them.

Note: The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio settings, although very similar, must be configured separately.
Complete the following steps to customize the radio settings of an AP.
  1. From the navigation pane, click Networking Devices and select the WiFi tab.
  2. Click the name of the AP for which you want to customize the radio settings.
    The AP overview page is displayed.
  3. In the Settings section, click View after the WiFi Radio Settings.
    The AP Radio Settings pageis displayed.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Configure the following settings for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios:
    • Channel Selection Method: Select either Background Scanning or ChannelFly or Manual.
    • Reselect channel every [ ] minutes: If you selected ChannelFly, define the time interval at which Ruckus Cloud will switch to the optimal channel. The default is 480 minutes.
    • Bandwidth: Select Auto, 20 MHz, or 40 MHz channel width for the 2.4 GHz radio, or Auto, 20, 40, 80, or 160 MHz channel width for the 5 GHz radio.
    • Tx Power Adjustment: Manually set the transmit power on all 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radios. The default is Max.
    • Channel Selection: A blue icon above the channel number indicates that the channel is enabled for the radio. If there are channels that you do not want the radio to use, disable them by clicking their respective icons. When a channel is disabled, its blue icon changes to gray.
      Note: For the 5 GHz radio, you must configure a different set of channels for indoor APs and outdoor APs.
  6. Click Save, and then click Close.
