Radio

The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP is available in a dual band and 
single band version.

Single-Band AP:

If you have the single band version of the Gateway 7001 AP, this box is not 
included on the Radio tab.

Dual-Band AP:

The dual band access point capable of broadcasting in two different IEEE 
802.11 modes simultaneously.

• Radio One runs in IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes.

• Radio Two runs in IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11a Turbo modes.

Specify Radio One or Radio Two. For the dual band AP, the rest of the 
settings on this tab apply to the radio selected in this box.

Status (On/Off)

Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off.

Mode

The 

Mode

 defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the 

radio.

Single-Band AP:

For the Single-Band AP, select one of these modes:

• IEEE 802.11b

• IEEE 802.11g

Dual-Band AP:

For the dual band access point, different modes are available depending on 
whether you chose Radio One or Radio Two in the Radio box above.

For Radio One configuration, select either of these modes:

• IEEE 802.11b

• IEEE 802.11g

For Radio Two configuration, select either of these modes:

• IEEE 802.11a

• Atheros Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a Turbo).

Channel

The 

Channel

 defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses 

for transmitting and receiving. The range of channels and the default channel 
are determined by the Mode of the radio interface. The Mode can only be 
set to allow channels within those allowed by the regulatory agencies in the 
regions for which this device was intended.

For most Modes, the default is “Auto”. Auto is the recommended mode 
because it automatically detects the best channel choices based on signal 
strength, traffic loads, and so on.
