[Jozef Staruch]

HI All,

We have new access point lightway AIR-CAP1602-EK9 and Cisco Controller WLC 5508  with version 7.4.110.0.

I would like to know how can we trun off diversity which I belive is turnd on by default..

Thank you

I am guessing that what you want to do is use an antenna that does not have 3 leads on it.  To disable an antenna port on the access point you will need to do the following:

• Go to the wireless tab
• Select 802.11a/n/ac in the Access Points section on the left
• Hover over the blue arrow on the right for the AP you want to disable the antenna port on and select configure
• In the antenna properties section un-check the antenna ports you want disabled
• Repeat this process in the 802.11b/g/n Access Points section to disable the port for both radios

I hope this helps.
