Access Point Settings
Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you want to close the wireless interface, select
Deactivated.
Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel.
There are Regulation Domains and Channel ID in this field. The Channel ID will be different based on
Regulation Domains. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value
between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network.
RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value
between 1500 and 2347.
Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 2346, even
number only.
DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
TX Power: The transmission power of the antennas, ranging from 1-100, the higher the more powerful of the
transmission performance.
Wireless Mode: The default setting is 802.11b+g+n (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both 11g and
11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select
802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b and if you only have 802.11n
then select 802.11n.
11n Settings
Channel Bandwidth: Select either 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The wider the Channel
bandwidth the better the performance will be.
Guard Interval: Select either 400nsec or 800nsec for the guard interval. The guard interval is here to ensure
that data transmission do not interfere with each other. It also prevents propagation delays, echoing and
reflections. The shorter the Guard Interval, the better the performance will be. We recommend users to select
Auto.
MCS: There are options 0~15 and AUTO to select for the Modulation and Coding Scheme. We recommend
users selecting AUTO.
SSID Settings
SSID Index: Select how many SSIDs you want to lay out. A total of 4 is in list. By default 4 SSIDs are in use.
SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another. For
security propose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the
router’s wireless interface. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get
connected to your network.
Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the SSID through passive
scanning. Select No to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
