By default, RaspAP's access point is configured with WPA2 and CCMP encryption. You may of course change this to allow legacy clients (older mobile devices, for example) by selecting `TKIP+CCMP` as the encryption type. Choose **Save settings** and **Restart hotspot** for your changes to take effect.

## 802.11ac 5 GHz
RaspAP largely removes the guesswork in creating a 5 GHz access point. It achieves this by being tightly integrated with the [wireless regulatory database](https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/wireless-regdb) used by the Linux kernel. Behind the scenes, RaspAP queries `iw` and intelligently matches its output with the 5 GHz channels allowed by `hostapd`, the user space daemon access point software.
RaspAP [version 3.0](https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-webgui/releases/tag/3.0-beta) largely removes the guesswork in creating a 5 GHz access point. It achieves this by being tightly integrated with the [wireless regulatory database](https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/wireless-regdb) used by the Linux kernel. Behind the scenes, RaspAP queries `iw` and intelligently matches its output with the 5 GHz channels allowed by `hostapd`, the user space daemon access point software.

From the **Hotspot > Advanced** tab, select your country from the dropdown then choose **Save settings**. This executes `iw reg set [country-code]` to set the wireless regulatory domain for your device. Now, on the **Hotspot > Basic** tab choose an interface, modify your SSID (if desired) and select the '802.11ac - 5 GHz' wireless mode option. RaspAP will automatically populate the available 5 GHz channels for your country. Select a channel followed by **Save settings**, then **Start** or **Restart hotspot**.
