    What exactly does "Software-configurable dual radio supports 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz" mean?  It's listed on the marketing PDFs for all dual radio AP's.  Does this mean I can configure both radios to run at 5Ghz? or both at 2.4Ghz?  Or does this simply mean I can change each of the radios behavior on the controller (or iAP) ?

    You can change the behavior of each radio on the AP. All APs (excluding the mesh router series) are locked into each frequency.

    I suspect it means that each individual radio can be software defined as either a client serving radio, spectrum analyser, or rogue ap monitor etc. Chris
