Description
Band
Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x standards.
The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units to fall back to
slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x devices can coexist
in the same network. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at
2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps
rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to
IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)
Channel
Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel.
Auto Channel Timer
(min)
Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)
802.11n/EWC
An equipment interoperability standard setting based on IEEE
802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC)
Bandwidth
Select 20MHz or 40MHz bandwidth. 40MHz bandwidth uses two
adjacent 20MHz bands for increased data throughput.
Control Sideband
Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40MHz mode.
802.11n Rate
Set the physical transmission rate (PHY).
802.11n Protection
Turn Off for maximized throughput.
Turn On for greater security.
Support 802.11n
Client Only
Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router.
Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g client’s access to the router.
RIFS Advertisement
One of several draft-n features designed to improve efficiency.
Provides a shorter delay between OFDM transmissions than
in802.11a or g.
OBSS Co-Existence
Co-existence between 20 MHZ AND 40 MHZ overlapping Basic
Service Set (OBSS) in WLAN.
RX Chain Power Save
Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains, going
from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power.
RX Chain Power Save
Quiet Time
The number of seconds the traffic must be below the PPS value
below before the Rx Chain Power Save feature activates itself.
RX Chain Power Save
PPS
The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be
processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet Time,
described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save feature
activates itself.
54g Rate
Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates: Auto:
Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to
lower rates when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, or
11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is dependent on
signal strength.
Multicast Rate
Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)
Basic Rate
Setting for basic transmission rate.
