Fragmentation Threshold

This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before

data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience

a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the

fragmentation threshold. Setting the fragmentation

threshold too low may result in poor network performance.

Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended.

In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

RTS Threshold

Using this setting can regulate your wireless network if you

experience any inconsistent data flow. Make only minor

adjustments to the default value of 2347.

Wireless Multicast

Forwarding (WMF)

Enable or disable Multicasting over the wireless network.

Access Control

This page allows you to control which wireless clients can access your wireless network.

It also provides information about wireless clients connected to your access point.

To access the

Access Control

page:

1

Click

Wireless

in the menu bar.

2

Then click the

Access Control

submenu.

Figure 34 shows an example of the menu and Table 27 describes the items you can

MAC Restrict

Mode

Select whether wireless clients with the specified MAC address are

allowed or denied wireless access. To allow all clients, select

Disabled.

MAC

Addresses

Shows the list of wireless client MAC addresses to allow or deny

based on the Restrict Mode setting. Valid MAC address formats is

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.

Connected

Clients

Shows the list of connected wireless clients. When a client

connects (associates) to the network, it is added to the list; when a

client leaves (disassociates) from the network, it is removed from

the list. For each client, the age (in seconds), estimated average

receive signal strength (in dBm), IP address, and host name are

presented. The age is the amount of time elapsed since data was

transmitted to or received from the client.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)

The WMM page allows you to configure WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) feature. WMM is a

subset of the 802.11e wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that enhances quality of

service (QoS) on a network by prioritizing data packets according to their categories.

WMM enhances QoS at the wireless driver level. It provides a mechanism to prioritize

wireless data traffic to and from the associated (WMM capable) stations.

If you enable the WMM feature, you may need to decide whether or not to broadcast

Cable Modem/Router’s network name. Broadcasting allows you to easily recognize

your wireless network in the list of available networks. Once you have configured your

wireless clients, it is recommended that you disable the broadcasting feature.

WMM Support

Select On to include the WME Information Element in beacon

frame.

No-Acknowledgement

Select On to not transmit acknowledgments for data.

Power Save Support

Select On to allow the AP (Cable Modem/Router) queuing

packets for stations/clients in power-save mode. Queued

packets are transmitted when the station/client notifies AP that

it has left power-save mode.

EDCA AP Parameters

Enter the transmit parameters for traffic transmitted from the

AP to the STA (station) for the four Access Categories (AC):

Best Effort (AC_BE), Background (AC_BK), Video (AC_VI)

and Voice (AC_VO). Transmit parameters include Contention

Window (CWmin and CWmax), Arbitration Inter Frame

Spacing Number (AIFSN), and Transmit Opportunity Limit

(TXOP Limit).

There are also two AP-specific settings:

y

Admission Control: Specify if admission control is

enforced for the Access Categories.

y

Discard Oldest First. Specify the discard policy for the

queues.

On

discards the oldest first and

Off

discards the

newest first.

EDCA STA

Parameters

Specifies the transmit parameters for traffic transmitted from

the STA (station) to the AP for the four Access Categories

(AC): Best Effort (AC_BE), Background (AC_BK), Video

(AC_VI), and Voice (AC_VO). Transmit parameters include

Contention Window (CWmin and CWmax), Arbitration Inter

Frame Spacing Number (AIFSN) and Transmit Opportunity

Limit (TXOP Limit).

WMM TXOP

Parameters

Specifies the transmit parameters for WMM TXOP

Parameters for the four Access Categories (AC): Best Effort

(AC_BE), Background (AC_BK), Video (AC_VI), and Voice

(AC_VO). Transmit parameters include Short Relay Limit,

Short Fallback Limit, Long Retry Limit, Long Fallback Limit

and Max Rate in 500kbps.

Bridging

The Bridging page allows you to configure WDS (Wireless Distribution System) feature.

Only those bridges listed in the Remote Bridges table will be granted access. APs must

operate in the same channel to be bridged together.
