5.5 Advanced Settings

Advanced Settings

affect Wi-Fi performance. These settings help you obtain the maximum

access rate and optimal access performance.

To configure the advanced parameters:

1.

Set

Channel

.

Auto

indicates that the channel with the best signal quality is selected.

The values 1 to 13 indicate the selected channel.

2.

Set

802.11n bandwidth

.

If this parameter is set to

20 MHz

, 802.11n supports only 20 MHz bandwidth.

If this parameter is set to

20/40 MHz

, 802.11n supports 20 MHz or 40 MHz bandwidth.

If

Mode

is set to

802.11b

or

802.11g

, this parameter does not need to be set.

3.

Set

Rate

.

Rate

varies with the selected mode.

If

Rate

is set to

Auto

, the Wi-Fi client connects to the CPE through the channel with the best

signal quality.

If the rate is specified, the client connects to the CPE at the specified rate. If the channel

conditions do not meet the requirements, the connection performance is affected.

4.

Set

Transmit power

.

If this parameter is set to

100%

, the Wi-Fi client transmits signals at full power.

If this parameter is set to

80%

,

60%

, or

40%

, the Wi-Fi client transmits signals at low power.

Wi-Fi clients located far from the CPE may fail to access the CPE.

5.

Set

WMM

.

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 to 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

When the CPE works in repeater mode, the Wi-Fi module supports the wireless distribution

system (WDS). The Wi-Fi clients must be configured to use the same radio channel,

encryption mode, and encryption key. The WDS encryption mode can be set to

Open

authentication

or

WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK

. If the encryption mode is

Open

authentication

, the Wi-Fi clients can use

NONE

or

WEP

encryption. If the encryption mode

is

WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK

, the Wi-Fi clients can use

WPA/WPA2-PSK

encryption. After

you enable WDS, disable DHCP on CPEs that are not directly connected to the WAN port.

Make sure that the CPEs are not using the same gateway IP address and all their gateway IP

addresses are in the same network segment.

Note: 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 a specific value.

To enable WDS:

1.
