Radio modes:
- b/g
- g/n
- b/g/n
- g/n/ax
- client-bridge
Radio 2 — 2x2 WLAN Service 5.0 GHz
Radio modes:
- a/n/ac
- a/n/ac/ax
- client-bridge
Radio 3 —
- 2x2 WLAN Service 6.0 GHz, Or
- 2x2 WLAN Tri-Band Sensor, 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz
Radio modes:
- sensor
- ax6
- client-bridge

AP4000/AP4000-1 access points support the following:

IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.
Out of Band discovery on the 6 GHz band. APs that provide WLAN service on the 6 GHz band include Reduced Neighbor Report IE in all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons and probe responses. Out of Band discovery helps clients find 6 GHz SSIDs and channel information that comes from 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons of co-located access points.
Supports AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP) on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios.
6E WFA Compliant network authentication methods.
The World-Wide Universal Access Points 6 GHz radios support only the following Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network authentication methods:
- OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption) for Open Networks
- WPA3-Personal
- WPA3-Enterprise
- WPA3-Compatibility
  Note
  WPA3-Compatibility is not WFA compliant. WPA3-Compatibility supports both WPA2 Personal and WPA3 Personal on the same network. If a WPA3-Compatibility network is assigned to 6 GHz radio, only WPA3 Personal is assigned, thus making the network compliant.
ExtremeCloud IQ Controller requires that your 6 GHz radio network assignment be WFA 6E compliant. It rejects network configuration changes that result in 6 GHz radio network assignments that are not compliant. It might be necessary to redefine your networks when configuring the 6 GHz radio on the Universal Access Points.

Note

APmodel-1 access point models do not support IoT.
