Wireless Settings
- Basic
In basic setting page, you can set wireless Radio, Mode, Band, SSID, and
Channel.
Radio:
You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot
associate with AP through wireless.
Mode:
In this device, we support three operation modes which are
AP router
and
AP route with WDS
. If you choose AP Router Mode, you can
select AP or WDS function in the drop-down menu.
Band:
You can select the wireless standards running on your network
environment.

2.4 GHz(B):
If all your clients are 802.11b, select this one.
2.4 GHz(N):
If all your clients are 802.11n, select this one.
2.4 GHz(B+G):
Either 802.11b or 802.11g wireless devices are in
your environment.
2.4 GHz(G):
If all your clients are 802.11g, select this one.
2.4 GHz(B+G+N):
Either 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless devices
are in your environment.
Enable ESSID:
We support 4 multiple SSIDs in this device. Please select how
many SSIDs you would like to use in your network environment.
ESSID1~4:
ESSID is the name of your wireless network. It might be a unique
name to identify this wireless device in the Wireless LAN. It is case
sensitive and up to 32 printable characters. You might change the
default ESSID for added security.
Auto Channel:
Device will search all valid channels, then select a cleanest
channel and change to this channel if you enable this function.
Depend on this function is enabled or not, you will see different
items below
Auto Channel
.
Channel:
If Auto Channel is disabled, you should choose a static channel and
AP will use this channel to communicate with other clients.
Check Channel Time:
If Auto Channel is enabled, you can choose a period
from the drop-down menu. AP will change to a clean
channel periodically.

- WDS with AP Router
Wireless
Distribution
System,
a
system
that
enables
the
wireless
interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be extended using
multiple APs without a wired backbone to link them. Each WDS AP needs same
channel and encryption type settings.
MAC address 1~4:
Please enter the MAC address(es) of the neighboring APs
which participate in WDS. There can be maximum of 4
devices now.
Set Security:
WDS Security depends on your AP security settings. Note: it
does not support
mixed mode
such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Mixed mode.

- Advanced
This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options.. You should not
change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on
the router.
Fragment Threshold:
This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this
value too low, it will result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold:
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send
this packet.
Beacon Interval:
This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts
a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless
network.

DTIM Period:
Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the
next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Data Rate:
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit
data packets. The access point will use the highest possible
selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
N Data Rate:
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit
data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest
data rate can be fixed.
Channel Bandwidth:
This is the range of frequencies that will be used.
Preamble Type:
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better
wireless LAN performance.
CTS Protection:
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between
802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection
mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower
due to a lot of frame-network that is transmitted.
TX Power:
This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.
