What COUNTRY is this WAP going to be used in?

Dear leolaohoo,

I am using WAP in India.

I am using this WAP in our Wi-Fi LAB as part of WI-Fi Alliance certification.

For executing the test cases of Wi-Fi Allicance, I have to set WAP to below modes

(1)802.11b Only

(2)802.11g

(3)802.11b/g

(4)802.11b/g/n

Thank You

You are using the wrong model of WAP then.  For Indian Regulatory Domain, you need "-N".  The WAP you have is "-A".  

1.  If you want 802.11b ONLY then you CANNOT enable 802.11 b and n.  802.11n requires you to use 802.11a radio and bonded.  It doesn't make any practical sense to have 802.11b and you want to run 802.11n because 802.11b only has three channels.

2.  If you want 802.11b ONLY, then you only allow the data rates for 802.11b, and they are:  1-, 2-, 5.5-, and 11 Mbps.

Read this document:  Capacity Coverage & Deployment Considerations for IEEE 802.11g and look at Table 4.  This will guide you which are the data rates for 802.11b and 802.11g.

guess you are preparing to do pre wifi cert on client devices, make sure the code used on cisco ap is wifi certified.

i think as along as you use the unit inside rf chamber or rf shield than you are fine, thats how each vendor verify different regulatory domain.

from point 1. from what leo says could be incorrect. you can do b/g/n without channel bonding on 2.4ghz unless i'm missing something.
