Referenced Profiles
802.11a Radio Profile
5_am
Defines AP radio settings for the 5 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile.
Select the
pencil
icon next to this field to edit or create additional profile settings in the
