will be the children.
You have chosen the radio that the access points will use for the
bridges. It can be Radio1 or Radio2.
You have chosen the radio mode and channel that all the access
points will use for the bridges.
You have chosen the security level for VAP0 of the selected radio
for the bridges. The security level can be none or WPA Personal.
