Users on 2.4Ghz and backbone on 5Ghz and above

Hello Aredn members,

Looking at doing some retooling of our current Aredn setup.    We current are looking at only allowing the users to come through the 2.4Ghz access points and then using 5Ghz or unlicensed frequency from Unifi to run the data around the backbone.

Here are my questions.

1.  Is there a way to pin the AP points so it will only respond to users on 2.4Ghz and any other requests for an IP on other frequencies will be ignored.  This would be similar to the way you would do it on the full size internet.

2.  If you decide to run unlicensed backbone systems is there a way to interface the Aredn nodes with it via a network switch or is the a recommended way to make it work?

3.   How would you setup a bridge in the Aredn network to get it to repeat the signal and pass it along if the distance between two sites is to great or you have terrain issues that is blocking a direct link.

Thanks!
