What do the radio mode settings in the last column mean?
This shows the list of our 3 SSIDs that we use.What is the difference between a/n/g and a/n/g/n-strict mode?
Does this mean any device with a "a" or "n" or "g" radio can connect to this SSID?

I didn't actually configure all the settings in the beginning. I am trying to fine tune and improve our wireless. Thank you for all the info.

It's an overview of the different modes used on that service. For example if you only selected a radio that was configured for G/N then that column would only show G/N. When you are logged into the controller there is a help file on the upper right hand side of the GUI. You can search that for your rate questions. Example:

  • a — Click to enable the 802.11a mode of Radio 1 without 802.11n capability.
  • a/n — Click to enable the 802.11a mode of Radio 1 with 802.11n capability.
  • a/n/ac — Click to enable the 802.11ac mode of Radio 1 with 802.11ac capability.
  • ac-strict — Click to enable the 802.11ac mode of Radio 1 with 802.ac strict capability.
  • n-strict — Click to enable the 802.11a mode of Radio 1 with 802.11n strict capability.
