Understanding Radio Settings

Radio settings directly control the behavior 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 AT-TQ2403 Management Software comes configured as a dual band access point. The access point is capable of broadcasting in the following modes:

∙IEEE 802.11b mode

∙IEEE 802.11g mode

∙IEEE 802.11a mode

∙Atheros Turbo 5 GHz

∙Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz

∙Atheros Turbo 2.4 GHz

∙Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz

∙Extended Range

The IEEE mode along with other radio settings are configured as described in “Navigating to Radio Settings” and “Configuring Radio Settings”.
