Turbo Mode (802.11a only)—Turbo Mode is an enhanced wireless LAN operating
mode that can provide a higher data rate. The normal mode of the 802.11a radio
provides connections up to 54 Mbps. Select Turbo Mode Enable to allow the radio
to provide connections up to 108 Mbps.

In normal mode the channel bandwidth is 20 MHz. In Turbo Mode the channel
bandwidth is increased to 40 MHz. However, only a limited number of channels

Radio Channel—From the pull-down list, select the radio channel over which the
access point communicates to computers in its BSS. Available channel settings are
limited by local regulations that determine which channels are allowed. The client
channel for wireless users is automatically set to that used by the access point to
which they are linked. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area,
be sure to choose channels separated by at least five channels to avoid channel
interference. You can deploy up to three access points in the same area; for
example, Ch1, Ch6, and Ch11.
