2.4GHz Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Wireless > Basic
WDS or Wireless Distribution System allows your router to establish a wireless bridge
connection to another access point. To use this feature the access point you want to
connect has to also support WDS mode. This feature is available on both 2.4GHz and
5GHz wireless band.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page
”
on page 26).
2. Click on
Wireless 2.4GHz
and click on
Basic
.
3. Under
Wireless Distribution System (WDS
) enter the MAC address of the access
point you would like the router to WDS to. You will also have to enter the MAC
address of the router into the access point to establish the WDS or bridge connection.
This wireless router supports up to 4 WDS connections.
4. Log into your access point and enter the MAC address of your router. Please see the
access point’s user manual for more information on how to configure WDS mode.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1.
Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the
range of a wireless device.
Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a.
For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home,
and near the ceiling, if possible.
b.
Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal
furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.
c.
Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so
the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better.
d.
Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
e.
Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if your
wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal
strength to determine the ideal position.
2.
Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through
less dense material such as dry wall.
Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass
or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3.
Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the
wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for
your wireless devices.
4.
Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact
your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF
noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If a wirelessly networked device uses an older
standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower. If you are still
experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing
additional access points. .
Wireless 2.4GHz Advanced settings
Wireless > Advanced
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced
wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to
their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these
values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
•
Beacon Interval:
A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information
about the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between
each beacon transmission.

Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)
•
DTIM:
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening
to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM
with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid
settings are between 1 and 255.
•
Fragment Threshold:
Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units
(fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at
the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is
greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its
default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result
in poor performance.
•
RTS Threshold
– The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking
protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending
the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called
Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size
allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347)
•
Short Preamble:
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.
However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased
sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for
your installation.
•
Xpress™ Technology:
Is frame bursting technology built by Broadcom to improve
wireless performance. It is recommended to leave this feature On.
