Can my MetroLinq form a PTP link with 60 GHz radios from other brands? What about connecting to the 5GHz back up radio?

For 60GHz, MetroLinq devices can only form 60 GHz links with other MetroLinq devices.

For the 5GHz back up radio, the first SSID only allows IgniteNet radios to connect.
If you add a second 5GHz virtual SSID, then any standard 802.11 based radios can connect (acts as a traditional 5GHz access point).

(If equipped depending on model) the 2.4 GHz radio acts as a traditional 802.11 2.4GHz access point and any 802.11 based devices can connect.

**TIP""  Use the 2.4GHz radio in the OMNI to broadcast and advertise your company contact in the SSID name so others can see.  (Lock the SSID down with a password so no one can connect).
