• Select the Operational Mode as follows and click Save & Next:
The Wireless-A interface operates in 802.11a mode on the AP-4000/4000M and in either 802.11a mode or 4.9

Bandwidth. This option is not configurable in the AP-4000/4000M. See
available with each bandwidth.
The Wireless-B interface can be configured to operate in the following modes:
• 802.11b only mode: The radio uses the 802.11b standard only.
• 802.11g only mode: The radio is optimized to communicate with 802.11g devices. This setting will provide the
best results if this radio interface will only communicate with 802.11g devices.
• 802.11b/g mode: This is the default mode. Use this mode if you want to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g
devices.
• 802.11g-wifi mode: The 802.11g-wifi mode has been defined for Wi-Fi testing purposes. It is not
recommended for use in your wireless network environment.
In general, you should use either 802.11g only mode (if you want to support 802.11g devices only) or 802.11b/g
mode to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
