Mesh Role Mesh AP Mesh Devices Drop-down menu specifies the mesh role for the AP as shown:
Mesh AP —The AP will act like a mesh client. It will use other APs as its uplink to the
network.
Portal AP —The AP will become a portal AP. It will use a wired connection as its
uplink to the network and serve it over the radio to other APs.
None —The AP will act like a standard AP. It will not perform meshing functions

police car or utility truck.

device's right connector (the connector on the right side when viewing the back panel of
the device), use this setting for receive and transmit.
Left —If your device has removable antennas and you install a high-gain antenna on the
device's left connector, use this setting for both receive and transmit.
