Basic
Radio:
Enable or Disable the device’s wireless signal.
Mode:
Select between Access Point or Wireless Distribution System (WDS) modes.
Band:
Select the types of wireless clients that the device will accept.
eg: 2.4 Ghz (B+G)
Only 802.11b and 11g clients will be allowed.
Enable SSID#:
Select the number of SSID’s (Wireless Network names) you would like.
You can create up to 4 separate wireless networks.
SSID#
Enter the name of your wireless network. You can use up to 32 characters.
Auto Channel:
When enabled, the device will scan the wireless signals around your area and
select the channel with the least interference.
Channel:
Manually select which channel the wireless signal will use.
Check Channel Time:
When Auto Channel is Enabled, you can specify the period of the device will
scan the wireless signals around your area.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Using WDS to connect Access Point wirelessly, and in doing so
extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not
possible or inefficient to implement.
Note that compatibility between different brands and models is not
guaranteed. It is recommended that the WDS network be created
using the same models for maximum compatibility.
Also note that all Access Points in the WDS network needs to use
the same Channel and Security settings.
To create a WDS network, please enter the MAC addresses of the
Access Points that you want included in the WDS. There can be a
maximum of four access points.

Fragment Threshold:
Specifies the size of the packet per fragment.
This function can reduce the chance of packet collision.
However when this value is set too low, there will be increased overheads
resulting in poor performance.
RTS Threshold:
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, then the packet will
be sent without RTS/CTS handshake which may result in incorrect
transmission.
Beacon Interval:
The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is used to
synchronize all wireless clients on the network.
DTIM Period:
A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that the
access point will be sending Multi-casted data.
N Data Rate:
You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients. Each
Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) refers to a specific transfer speed.
Channel Bandwidth:
Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz.
To achieve 11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used.
Preamble Type:
A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client.
Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility.
Short Preamble is non-standard, so it decreases compatibility but increases
performance.
CTS Protection:
When Enabled, the performance is slightly lower however the chances of
packet collision is greatly reduced.
Tx Power:
Set the power output of the wireless signal.
