Abstract
An example method comprising: activating a first radio of a wireless access point to communicate with a first set of client devices by transceiving signals on channels within a first frequency band; activating a second radio of the wireless access point to communicate with a second set of client devices by transceiving signals on channels within a second frequency band; receiving a command from a network controller to change frequency bands of the wireless access point; toggling the first radio from a first antenna circuit to a second antenna circuit to connect the first radio to an antenna such that the first radio is capable of transceiving signals on channels within a first sub-band of the first frequency band; and configuring the second radio to transceive signals on channels within a second sub-band of the first frequency band.
