both frequencies. Instructions to transmit at unsupported frequencies will be
ignored by the AP.
Operating Country
This drop-
down menu specifies the national / regional regulations which the AP
should follow.
If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be
available and the maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400
mW).
If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The
maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
