Configure the AP by editing the hostapd.conf file, located at /usr/share/wl18xx/hostapd.conf. In this file, there are options to change the SSID, security and other advanced features shown in the file. Key parameters to consider are listed below:

# SSID to be used in IEEE 802.11 management frames
ssid=xyzabc

# Channel number (IEEE 802.11)
channel=6

# ieee80211n: Whether IEEE 802.11n (HT) is enabled
# 0 = disabled (default)
# 1 = enabled
# Note: You will also need to enable WMM for full HT functionality.
ieee80211n=1

# ht_capab: HT capabilities (list of flags)
ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-20][GF][HT]
