A gateway for use with a first access point device and a second access point device, the gateway comprising: a delegating component operable to delegate the first access point device to monitor for a presence of a signal on any one of a first set of channels within a spectrum of channels in a radar band and to delegate the second access point device to monitor a second presence of a second signal on any one of a second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band; a communication component operable to receive a channel-in-use signal from the first access point device; characterised in that: the communication component is further operable to transmit a notification signal to the second access point device based on the channel-in-use signal, the channel-in-use signal being associated with an in-use channel of the first set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band; and the gateway further comprises: a load balancing component operable to determine a communication volume on each of the first set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band and the second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band and to generate an instruction to instruct the first access point device and the second access point device to not use the in-use channel, wherein the communication component is further operable to transmit the instruction to the first access point device and the second access point device, and wherein the communication component is further operable to receive a communication signal from one of the first access point device and the second access point device as a result of a transmission of the instruction by the communication component. a delegating component operable to delegate the first access point device to monitor for a presence of a signal on any one of a first set of channels within a spectrum of channels in a radar band and to delegate the second access point device to monitor a second presence of a second signal on any one of a second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band;
