Wifi Radios questions Netgear WAX206

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, I'm currently using Openwrt version 24.10.0 r28427-6df0e3d02a with a Netgear WAX206, I'm wondering about radio3 not being used. Should I try to make better use of it? I have 1x 2.4 GHz ssid and 2x 5 Ghz ssid.

Hi,

I can get mine out of storage but there's only two radios on it, somehow you have two duplicates.
