Default Gateway: Enter the Default Gateway for the Access Point.
Primary/Secondary DNS Server: Enter the Primary/Secondary DNS server name.
Wireless Radio Settings
Country: Select a Country/Region to conform to local regulations. Different regions have different rules that
govern which channels can be used for wireless communications.
Wireless Mode: Select from the drop-down menu to set the wireless mode for the Access Point.
Channel HT Mode: Use the drop-down menu to select the channel width for 2.4GHz. A wider channel
improves the performance, but some legacy devices operate only on either 20MHz or 40 MHz. This option
is only available for 802.11n modes.
Extension Channel: Use the drop-down menu to set the Extension Channel as Upper or Lower channel.
An extension channel is a secondary channel used to bond with the primary channel to increase this range
to 40MHz allowing for greater bandwidth. This option is only available when Wireless Mode is 802.11n and
Channel HT Mode is 20/40MHz or 40MHz.
Channel: Select Auto or manually assign a channel for the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio. The list of available
channels that can be assigned to radios is determined based on which country the Access Points are
deployed in.
Transmit Power: Allows you to manually set the transmit power on 2.4GHz or 5GHz radios. Optimizing
channel assignments reduces channel interference and channel utilization for the network, thereby
improving overall network performance and increasing the network's client capacity.
Note: With Background Scanning and Auto Tx Power enabled, setting the Transmit Power to Auto will
dynamically adjust the AP's transmit power according to the RF information collected by background
scanning.
Client Limits: Limit the total number of clients that can associate with this Access Point.
Data Rate: Use the drop-down list to set the transmit data rate permitted for wireless clients. The data rate
affects the throughput of the access point. The lower the data rate, the lower the throughput, but the longer
transmission distance.
