Operation Manual
a WiMAX modem is attached to the router when the WiFi is enabled, the WiFi channel and transmit power will be set to
levels that optimize the performance of the WiMAX modem. If no WiMAX modem is attached, then default channel and
power settings will be used even if this is selected.
Channel: (Shows if User Selection is selected.) The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to
communicate with other devices. For 2.4 GHz, the range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other. If a
WiMAX modem is attached, a higher number channel will increase the chance the router's WiFi and modem's WiMAX
radios will conflict with each other, which may result in lower throughput. Select a channel from the dropdown list:
1 (2412 MHz)
2 (2417 MHz)
3 (2422 MHz)
4 (2427 MHz)
5 (2432 MHz)
6 (2437 MHz)
7 (2442 MHz)
8 (2447 MHz)
9 (2452 MHz)
10 (2457 MHz)
11 (2462 MHz)
For 5.0 GHz, the ranges are 36 to 64 and 149 to 165. These channels do not interfere with a WiMAX modem.
36 (5180 MHz)
40 (5200 MHz)
44 (5220 MHz)
48 (5240 MHz)
149 (5745 MHz)
153 (5765 MHz)
157 (5785 MHz)
161 (5805 MHz)
165 (5825 MHz)
Client Timeout: If the access point is not able to communicate with the client it will disconnect it after this timeout (in
seconds).
TX Power: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be
a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent
transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area.
RTS Threshold: When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be
improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will
begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This
setting should remain at its default value.
Fragmentation Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the
presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is
