What’s inside the access point?
An access point is a single-purpose computer designed to function as a wireless hub. Inside
the access point is a Wi-Fi radio system, a microprocessor, and sometimes a mini-PC card.
The access point boots from FlashROM that contains firmware with the configurable,
runtime features summarized in “Overview of the Gateway 7001 Series of self-managed
APs” on page 2.
As new features and enhancements become available, you can upgrade the firmware to
add new functionality and performance improvements to the access points that make up
your wireless network. (See “Upgrading the firmware” on page 168.)
