This guide covers both dual-radio and single radio models. The only difference between dual-radio models and single-radio models is the
second radio. Note that the single-radio models have two antennas in order to support receive diversity. On single-radio models, antenna
1 is the transmit antenna and antenna two is the (optional) diversity antenna.
