By default, AP learning is not enabled and all newly discovered APs are classified as interfering APs. You can enable or disable AP learning from the browser interface. Note: Enabling AP learning is useful when you install the WFS709TP in an environment with an existing third-party wireless network, especially if there are a large number of installed APs. Leave AP learning enabled until all APs in the network have been detected and classified as valid. Then disable AP learning and reclassify any unknown APs as interfering.
