5 ghz for 3602 access point?

[suthomas1]

With Cisco 3602I , which is a b/g/n device, does much does the spectrum does the client get. Is it 2.4 ghz only or some other value?

thanks in advance!

The 3602 is a a/b/g/n device.  So you have both the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz on the 3600's.  Clients decide on what radio band they will associate to.  I don't really understand what you mean by how much of the spectrum the clients get... The AP, depending on what country it is configured for will have available channels to use on each the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz band.  Again, it depends on the country code for the AP... whats allowed and the clients decide what band it will associate to.

Thanks,

Scott

sorry, my wording was incorrect there. yes, so they will have both 2.4  & 5ghz.

but isn't 5ghz used for backhaul path? how does the 3602 then use 5ghz for client path.

No it's not just for backhaul. Only used for backhaul is in mesh mode. Usually the mode is local or FlexConnect so it will use both radios for clients. Even in mesh you can allow for backhaul client access on the 5ghz.

Ok, so will configuring the AP in local mode allow it use 5ghz or will it need to be on the flexconnect mode.

thanks.

Leave it in local mode.

Here is a doc regarding when and how to deploy FlexConnect.
