AP Settings
AP Profile Name
This field specifies the name of this AP Profile.
SSID
These buttons specify which wireless networks will use this AP Profile. You can also
select the frequencies at which each network will transmit. Please note that the Peplink
Balance does not detect weather the AP is capable of transmitting at both frequencies.
Instructions to transmit at unsupported frequencies will be ignored by the AP.
Operating Country
This drop-down menu specifies the national / regional regulations which the AP should
follow.
If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be available and
the maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400 mW).
If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The
maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in US.
All US models are fixed to US channel only.
Preferred Frequency
These buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to broadcast.
This feature will only work for AP that can transmit at both 5.4GHz and 5GHz
frequencies,
Protocol
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This section displays the wireless protocols which your AP are using.
Channel Bonding
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This drop-down menu is only available for 802.11bgn or 802.11n protocols only.
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz and 40 MHz
With this feature enabled, it allows the Wi-Fi system to use two channels at once. Using
two channels improves the performance of the Wi-Fi connection
Channel
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel to be utilized. Available options are
from 1 to 11, and from 1 to 13 for the country setting of North America region and Europe
region, respectively. (Channel 14 is only available when the country is selected as Japan
with protocol 802.11b.)
If Auto is set, the system would perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time
set and choose the most suitable channel automatically.
Management VLAN
ID
This field specifies the VLAN ID to tag to management traffic, such as AP to AP-
controller communication traffic. The value is zero by default, meaning that no VLAN
tagging will be applied. NOTE: Change this value with caution as alterations may result
in loss of connection to the AP controller.
Power Boost
A
With this option enabled, the AP under this profile will transmit using additional power.
Please note that using this option with several AP in close proximity will lead to increased
interference.
Output Power
A
This drop-down menu determines the power at which the AP under this profile will
broadcast. When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power
level regardless of context. When Dynamic settings are selected, the AP will adjust its
power level based on its surrounding AP in order to maximize performance.
