In the following scenarios AP is expected to reboot automatically for the configuration to take effect:
- Change Country/Region
- After Firmware upgrade
- After Restore Configuration Settings
- Reset factory defaults
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
