On many Pepwave models, the AP settings screen (AP>Settings) looks similar to the

example below:

AP Settings

SSID

These buttons specify which wireless networks will use this AP profile. You can also

select the frequencies at which each network will transmit. Please note that the Pepwave

router does not detect whether the AP is capable of transmitting at 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).

NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.

Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in US.

All US models are fixed to US channels only.

Preferred

Frequency

These buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to broadcast.

This feature will only work for APs that can transmit at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz

frequencies.

5 GHz Protocol

This section displays the 5 GHz protocols your APs are using.

5GHz Channel

Bonding

There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature enabled, the

Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the

performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
