 Radio Off can turn off the wireless signal of AW5500 completely. This option only shows
in the AP Client mode. To turn off the wireless signal completely under Regular AP
mode and WDS Bridge mode, disable all APs in the Basic Settings.
 TX Power is AW5500’s Transmission Power. The transmission power can be reduced to
prevent wireless interference to other wireless networks.
 Short GI is recommended to leave it as enabled to maximize the throughput.
 WMM or Wireless Multimedia Extension, which is recommended to leave as enabled in
order to comply with 802.11n standards and achieve link speeds higher than 54 Mbps.
 WPA Group ReKey Interval, WPA automatically changes secret keys after certain
period of time, which all devices on the wireless network share. Constantly rekeying the
group key protects your network against intrusion.
 STP or Spanning Tree Protocol, please enable this option if STP is enabled in your
network to prevent network loops. When disabled, AW5500 will not forward STP BPDUs.
