5.5 Advanced Settings
Advanced Settings
affect Wi-Fi performance. The settings help you to obtain the maximum
rate through optimal access performance.
To configure the advanced settings, perform the following steps:
1.
Choose
Wi-Fi
>
Advanced Settings
.
2.
Set
Channel
.
Auto
indicates that the channel with the best signal quality is selected.
3.
Set
802.11n bandwidth
.
If this parameter is set to
20MHz
, 802.11n supports only 20 MHz bandwidth.
If this parameter is set to
20/40MHz
, 802.11n supports 20 MHz or 40 MHz
bandwidth.
4.
Set
Transmit power
.
If this parameter is set to
100%
, the Wi-Fi client transmits at full power.
If this parameter is set to
80%
,
60%
, or
40%
, the Wi-Fi client transmits signals at
low power. The Wi-Fi client located far away from the CPE may fail to access the
CPE.
5.
Set
WMM
to
Enable
.
Wi- Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification based on the
IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic quality of service (QoS) features for IEEE 802.11
networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four access categories (AC): voice, video,
best effort, and background. However, WMM does not provide guaranteed throughput. WMM
applies to simple applications that require QoS, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) on Wi-Fi
phones.

5.6 WDS
The CPE supports the wireless distribution system
(
WDS
)
. All Wi-Fi devices in a WDS must
be configured to use the same radio channel, encryption mode, SSID, and encryption key. You
can set the WDS encryption mode to NONE or WPA/WPA2. If you set the WDS encryption
mode to NONE, the Wi-Fi clients can use NONE or WEP encryption mode. If you set the
WDS encryption mode to WPA/WPA2-PSK, the Wi-Fi clients can use WPA/WPA2-PSK
encryption mode. After WDS is enabled, disable DHCP on CPEs that are not directly
connected to the WAN port.
If WDS is enabled, the WPS function will not take effect. If the channel is set to
Auto
, go to the
Advanced Settings
page to set the channel.
To configure the WDS, perform the following steps:
