Setup Wireless - Advanced Page Example for 802.11g Radios
The following illustration is an example of the Setup Wireless - Advanced page for
802.11g radios.
Note:
We recommend that you do not change the default wireless settings that are
shown in the illustration unless you are instructed to do so by your service provider.
Setup Wireless - Advanced Page Description for 802.11g Radios
This section describes the section headings and fields descriptions of the Setup
Wireless - Advanced page for 802.11g radios.
Note:
If you make changes in the Setup Wireless - Advanced page, click
Apply
to
apply and save your wireless advanced settings.
Field Name
Description
54G Network Mode
Allows you to optimize the performance of your wireless network
using one of the following options:
Max compatibility (factory default)
Allows the access point to interpolate with 802.11b and 802.11g
wireless client devices and minimizes interference with nearby
802.11b wireless networks.
Only 11G
Maximum throughput. In this mode, the wireless access point
accepts only 802.11g wireless clients. Setting the device in this
mode may degrade the operation of nearby 802.11b and 802.11n
wireless networks.
Basic Rate Set
Allows you to select the Basic Rate Set

Description
Xpress Technology
Allows you to enable or disable Xpress Technology.
Afterburner
Technology
Allows you to enable or disable Afterburner Technology.
54g Protection
Allows you to prioritize 802.11g communication when there is a mix
of 802.11b and 802.11g devices in the wireless network using one of
the following options:
Auto (factory default)
Allows 802.11b and 802.11g cells to interoperate seamlessly.
Off
Maximum performance. Networks with 802.11g-only wireless
client devices.
Rate
Allows you to fix the data rate for wireless connections. The
following data rates are available:
Auto (factory default), 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps,
11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps
Note:
In the automatic mode, data rate is a function of signal
strength and signal quality.
Output Power
Allows you to adjust the relative output power of your gateway
wireless transmitter. The following settings are available:
100% (factory default), 75%, 50%, and 25%.
Beacon Interval
Displays the time interval that the WAP uses to announce itself to
remote devices. The Beacon Interval should be left at 100 ms for
compliance with most client cards. The Beacon Interval specifies how
often packets are sent by the Access Point (AP) to synchronize a
wireless network and its clients.
DTIM Interval
Displays the time interval between Broadcasts/Multicast
transmissions. The DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message)
Interval is a countdown informing the wireless clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the
AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated
clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP
clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages. The DTIM Interval should be left at 3 ms for
compliance with most client cards.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Allows you to set the fragmentation threshold. This threshold should
be set equivalent to the maximum Ethernet frame size allowable on
the link including overhead (1536 bytes). Lesser settings can damage
data throughput as large frames could be fragmented or collisions
could occur. The factory default is 2346.
RTS Threshold
Determines at what packet size beyond which the ready to
send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism is invoked. The factory
default is 2347.

Description
Short Retry Limit
The number of times the gateway transmits an unacknowledged
unicast frame that is shorter than the RTS threshold before
discarding the frame. The factory default is 7.
Long Retry Limit
The number of times the gateway transmits an unacknowledged
unicast frame that is longer than the RTS threshold before discarding
the frame. The factory default is 4.
Setup Wireless - Advanced Page Example for 802.11n Radios
The following illustration is an example of the Setup Wireless - Advanced page for
802.11n radios.
Note:
We recommend that you do not change the default wireless settings that are
shown in the illustration unless you are instructed to do so by your service provider.

Description
Network Mode
Allows you to optimize the performance of your wireless network
using one of the following options:
Mixed (factory default)
Allows the access point to interpolate with 802.11b, 802.11g, and
802.11n wireless client devices and minimizes interference with
nearby 802.11b wireless networks.
G Only
Locks data rates to 802.11g only rates. This will optimize
performance for these devices, but will limit the throughput of
802.11n clients and disallow 802.11b clients.
B/G Mixed
Locks data rates to 802.11b/g rates. This will optimize
performance for these devices, but will limit the throughput of
802.11n and 802.11b clients.
Basic Rate Set
Allows you to select the Basic Rate Set. Options are
Auto
and
ALL
.
CTS Protection Mode
Allows you to manually control the protection mechanisms used to
operate with legacy clients (802.11b).
Auto (factory default)
Allows 802.11b/g/n cells to interoperate seamlessly.
Off
Will affect the throughput of the cell in the presence of 802.1b
clients.
Rate
Allows you to fix the data rate for wireless connections. The
following data rates are available:
Auto (factory default), 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps,
11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps,
and MCS 0-15 rates which are a function of channel width.
The rates available will be based on the Network Mode chosen
previously.
Note:
In the automatic mode, data rate is a function of signal
strength and signal quality.
