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 access point emits. You can
specify whether the radio is on or off, radio frequency (RF), broadcast
channel, beacon interval (amount of time between access point beacon
transmissions), transmit power, IEEE 802.11 mode in which the radio
operates, and so on.

following modes:
