Radio settings directly control the behaviour of the radio device in the access point, and its
interaction with the physical medium; that is, how/what type of electromagnetic waves the
AP emits. You can specify whether the radio is on or off, radio frequency (RF) broadcast
channel, beacon interval (amount of time between AP beacon transmissions), transmit
power, IEEE 802.11 mode in which the radio operates, and so on.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway comes configured as a dual-band access point with one

The access point is capable of broadcasting in the following modes:
•
IEEE 802.11b
