Setting Default Description
Mesh Radio 4.9/5Ghz Drop-down selects the radio that acts as the backhaul to the network.
Maximum Mesh Links

includes the uplink to the portal as well as downlinks to other mesh APs.
Neighbor RSSI
Smoothing
16 Specifies the number of beacons to wait before switching to a new link.
Roaming Threshold
