A warning message "Modifying the band operation mode will reboot the AP and the Mesh connection will also be disconnected when rebooting" is displayed. Click Add to add the AP model.

• Channel Selection Method: Select either Background Scanning or ChannelFly.
• Channel Change Frequency: This option is displayed only if you select the Channel Selection Method as ChannelFly. Adjust the frequency between 1-100. By default, 33 is selected.
• Run background scan every [ ] seconds: If you selected Background Scanning, interval at which RUCKUS One will run the scan ranges from 1 through 65535 seconds. For 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, the default is 20 seconds.
• Bandwidth: Select Auto, 20 MHz, or 40 MHz channel width for the 2.4 GHz radio, or Auto, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, or 160 MHz channel width for the 5 GHz radio.
• Transmit Power Adjustment: Select the transmit power adjustments from the drop-down list. The default is Full.
• 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, Lower 5 GHz, and Upper 5 GHz bands, you must configure a different set of channels for indoor APs and outdoor APs.
  Note: For 6 GHz bands, the channel range for both indoor and outdoor Access Points (APs) can be configured individually to distinguish indoor and outdoor channel ranges, considering the diverse channel availability across different counties. APs located within the venue can adopt these indoor or outdoor channel configurations based on their model’s capabilities, provided they are set to use the venue’s settings.

In the 6 GHz band (ranging from 5.925 to 6.425 GHz and from 6.525 to 6.875 GHz) that houses various radio services, Wi-Fi access points (APs) use the AFC system to share radio waves without causing interference, improving the overall network performance. The AFC system manages and allocates frequencies dynamically, utilizing a database of 6 GHz operators (including geolocation, frequencies, power levels, antenna coverage) which keeps track of the frequencies that are already in use in a specific area. By checking the AFC database, Wi-Fi APs can avoid using frequencies that are already occupied, preventing signal disruptions.

When you enable the AFC feature on RUCKUS One, a standard power (SP) AP (tri-radio, outdoor AP), before transmitting, consults with a local AFC system to validate frequency operation and starts operating only after the usage request is approved. However, an AP operating in Low Power Indoor (LPI) mode is allowed to transmit without the need for approval from the AFC system. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS AFC User Guide.

• BSS Min Rate: Select HE MCS 0, HE MCS 1, HE MCS 2, or HE MCS 3 from the drop-down list.
• Mgmt Tx Rate: Select 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, or 24 Mbps from the drop-down list.
• Channel Selection: A blue icon containing 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.

The following table specifies the client behavior on different steering modes:

You can apply the Client Admission Control setting on different frequency bands separately to manage client access and performance.

• Min. client count: The minimum number of clients that must be connected to a venue ensuring Client Admission Control is enforced only when there are sufficient number of clients, avoiding unnecessary restrictions during light network load. Select a value ranging from 0 through 100.
• Min. radio load (%): The minimum percentage of radio load (utilization) required to manage network resources effectively. Select a value ranging from 50 through 100.
• Min. client throughput (Mbps): The minimum throughput that each client must achieve to maintain a minimum performance standard for connected clients by restricting new connections if throughput drops below the threshold. Select a value ranging from 0 through 100.
