So if the radio is "factory reset" to defaults and then specific parameters get set at the Radio Kiosk.
Which parameters end up being different than the factory default, besides Bridge mode and IP address and mask and gateway?

The FMS Delta software will be pre-installed on a laptop and shipped with the playing field electronics. FIRST will also ship a lower cost field access point, a Linksys WRT610N or similar, configured for 802.11N @ 5GHz.
I'm trying to figure out if 802.11N @ 5GHz is the only mode that a field access point will ever use. If it is, then why does the competition settings of the DLINK DAP-1522 not specify these particular options?
The shaded picture in the document How_to_Configure_Your_Radio_Rev_A on page 11 seems to imply 2.4/5G, 802abgn, no autoscan, channel 6, channel width 20MHz is standard competition configuration.
I think we had been using 2.4G in our practice: it might give us better range for practice, but won't uncover weak signal issues we might have when using the lower range 5GHz in real competition.
