Radio Profiles

[rkowals]

I have a mix of AP230, AP250 and the new AP650. Would it be better to use separate 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radio profiles for each AP model?

ok, I'll start making some changes and push it out later today. I'll let you know.

Correct. The radio profile that has to be applied to the wifi0 radio has to be the base built-in radio_ng0 profile. Then within your SDR configuration, you can set an actual 2.4 and 5 GHz radio profiles to be applied based on which frequency the radio operates at.

I wasn't allowed to copy a radio profile for the 2.4 using the radio_ng_ng0 and label it for my use. So i had to revert it to using the base radio profile.

Two things.

The AP230 doesn't have a SDR radio, so it would not be applicable to any of that. The AP250 or newer would be required.

Secondly the 2.4 GHz radio profile needs to be set to the default radio profile 1st and then the SDR profile should be applied under the SDR profile settings.

Something like the above. With Admin State of Up on the 2.4 GHz interface of course.

It also probably needs to run a certain code base (I'd imagine 8.x or greater).

And what happens is the wifi0 radio goes through it's ACSP process looking for the best channel on 2.4 GHz with the 2.4 GHz radio profile selected in the SDR radio profile. If it sees enough RF, it flips over and goes through ACSP with the 5 GHz radio profile set within the SDR radio profile.
