• With Rogue AP and more than 2 VAPs (security profiles) enabled, the beacon interval of the AP will be automatically updated for better performance of the Rogue AP algorithm. We recommend not to reconfigure the beacon interval below the suggested value. Anything above the suggested value is fine.
  • 1 or 2 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 100ms
  • 3 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 3 = 123ms
  • 4 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 4 = 164ms
  • 5 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 5 = 205ms
  • 6 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 6 = 246ms
  • 7 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 7 = 287ms
  • 8 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 8 = 328ms


• Product Registration feature is available in this build. This feature allows the user to register the product with NETGEAR for better support. The product registration is available in two methods.In the first method, the product registration popup window will automatically open if the internet connection is available and the device serial number is not registered with NETGEAR.
