Use host MAC address Select this option to use the MAC address of the Ethernet device
connected to the client radio, rather than the radio's own MAC address.
Use this setting if devices communicating to the host require a
connection to a specific MAC address.
Note: This setting is only applicable in client mode.
Use this MAC address Select this option to enter a custom MAC address for the device.
Note: This setting is only applicable in client mode. In all other roles,
the Radio1 MAC address is applied to all traffic from the radio.
SSID Assign a network name (SSID) of up to 32 characters. The radio uses
this name in all network references. All radios in a network must have
the same SSID. SSID names are case-sensitive.

Channel Selection The Master devices in the wireless network define the channel of
operation; this field is not available for repeater or client roles. If
configuring an 802.11n radio, select a channel from the list of 2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz channels or choose "auto" to let system determine the best
channel to use based on the environment noise levels for the available
channels.
