Add Additional Wireless Network Name (SSID) To add additional Wireless Network Names simply add the name to the Multiple SSID field and click on apply at the bottom of the page. When finished, go to the Security section in this Users Guide for wireless security configuration. Multiple SSIDs Broadcast Network Name (SSID) This option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to enable, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When this mode is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network. Frequency (Channel) A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network. Page 31

WDS Mode When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to wirelessly communicate with other access points via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; both end points must support WDS and each access point must know the MAC Address of the other. Each access point will be configured with the remote access point’s MAC address and vice versa. Make sure all access points are configured with the same SSID, channel and wireless encryption settings. WDS configuration option enabled Operating Mode If you have both wireless g and wireless n client devices included on your wireless network at the same time, you should choose Mixed Mode. And if you only have wireless n client devices on your wireless network, you can choose Green Field to enjoy high throughput. Channel Bandwidth The "20/40” MHz option is usually best. The other option is available for special circumstances. Guard Interval Page 32

Using “Auto” option 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. MCS The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels. This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary. Fix MCS rate for HT rate 0-15 Reserve Direction Grant (RDG) Disable or enable reserve direction grant. Default is enabled. Extension Channel When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should select extension channel to get higher throughput. Page 33

WirelessAdvanced Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point 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 This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold Page 34

This setting should remain at its default value of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value are recommended. Short Preamble Use to synchronize communication timing between devices on a network. Disable by default. Short Slot Enable or disable short slot. Default is enabled. Tx Burst Enable or disable Tx burst. Default is enabled. Pkt_Aggregate Enable or disable Pkt aggregate. Default is enabled. Wi-Fi Multimedia WMM Capable Enabling WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting multimedia content over a wireless connection. APSD Capable Enable or disable APSD (Adaptive power scheduling protocol) capable. Default is enabled. *Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions Page 35
