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 interoperate with both
802.11b and 802.11g wireless client devices and
minimizes interference with nearby 802.11b
wireless networks.
±
54g Only
The wireless access point will only accept 802.11g
wireless clients.
±
Max Performance
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 near by 802.11b wireless networks.
Basic Rate Set
Allows you to select the Basic Rate Set
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)
Maximize 802.11g performance in networks with a
mix of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless client devices.
±
Off
Maximum performance. Networks with 802.11g-
only wireless client devices.
Xpress Technology
Allows you to enable or disable Xpress Technology
Afterburner
Technology
Allows you to enable or disable Afterburner
Technology
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%

How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
Field Name
Description
Beacon Interval
Displays the time interval that the WAP uses to
announce itself to remote devices. The Beacon Interval
should be left at 100ms 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
Short Retry Limit
The number of times the gateway transmits an
unacknowledged unicast frame that is shorter than the
RTS threshold before discarding the fram. The factory
default is 7
Short Retry Limit
The number of times the gateway transmits an
unacknowledged unicast frame that is longer than the
RTS threshold before discaring the frame. The factory
default is 4
Configuring Wireless Access Point Access Control
Use the Setup Wireless - Access Control page to configure your configure your
wireless access point access control.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the advanced settings detailed in this section,
contact your service provider before you attempt to change any of the residential
gateway default wireless advanced settings.
Click

Description
Access restriction
When encryption is enabled, this selection allows
you to choose one of the following options from the
drop-down list:
±
Disable (factory default)–No access restrictions
based on MAC address of wireless access
devices
±
Allow–Allows wireless access to only the MAC
addresses listed in the Access List
±
Deny–Denies wireless access to only the MAC
address listed in the Access List
Closed Network
Allows you to disable or enable the network to
access by wireless clients. When ON is selected, the
access point does not broadcast the SSID. The client
device must be configured manually with the SSID
and the MAC address of the access point in order to
access with wireless network.
Access List
Displays the MAC address of the clients that are
subject to wireless access control
