Frequency

sprocket10
Level 2
Level 2

I have been asked to find out what frequencies are being used by our wireless APs (1042N) within a building. There are 12 APs in the open plan building.

Can anyone help point me to finding this out. I have looked on the controller and just cannot seem to find anything.

Take a look here. It will tell you the frequency for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz channels

Those APs support both 2.4 and 5 GHz.

(model 1040 has two flavors, 1041 which only supports 2.4 GHz and 1042 which supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz).

Now, your AP supports both frequencies. but are you using them both? or you use one of them?

for a radio to be in use you must check two things:

- the radio is enabled.

- the WLAN radio policy uses that radio.

To check if a radio is enabled, on GUI:

- Wireless -> 802.11a/n (and 802.11b/g/n)-> Network. "802.11a network status" (and "802.11b/g/n network status) checkbox shows if the radio enabled or disabled.

- To see if specific WLAN uses both radios or one radio, you go to (GUI) WLAN-> click on your WLAN ID. in that page you look into "Radio Policy" list. "All" means both radio are enabled Or, if the WLAN uses only one radio then that radio will be mentioned (802.11a or 802.11b/g).
