Basic Radio Configuration

The radio card is preconfigured with standard settings. Use this page to modify
the settings, as needed.
For example, you can set a manual channel for operation to resolve issues with
interference from other access points in the area. You also can change the mode (g
& b, g only, n only, ng) to suit the devices in your network.
Click Wireless on the menu bar, and then click Radio Settings > Radio Settings in
the navigation tree.
The Radio Settings page appears.
Enter the following information:
• Region: Choose a geographic region from the drop-down list of regions.
• Country: Choose a country from the drop-down list of countries. This list is
populated according to the region selected. This impacts the available
Wi-Fi™ channels as determined by wireless authorities in the corresponding
country/region.
• Mode: Choose the 802. 1 1 modulation technique.
- g & b: Select this mode if some devices in the wireless network use
802. 1 1g and others use 802. 1 1b.
- g only: Select this mode if all devices in the wireless network can
support 802. 1 1g.
- n only: Select this mode if all devices in the wireless network can
support 802. 1 1n.
- ng: Select this mode to allow 802. 1 1n, 802. 1 1g and 802. 1 1b clients to
connect to this access point.
• Channel Spacing: Select either 20 MHz or 40 MHz channel bonding
(spacing), or choose "auto" to let system determine the best channel spacing
to use. This setting is specific to 802. 1 1n traffic.
• Control Side Band: If you chose 40 MHz channel spacing, choose Lower
Upper.
