parameter can be useful in an environment where multicast
video streaming is occurring in the wireless medium, providing
the wireless clients are capable of handling the configured rate
Guarding Interval
Setting Description Factory Default
Guarding Interval Guarding interval is used to ensure that distinct transmissions 800ns.
do not interfere with one another. You can select the guarding
interval manually for Wireless-N connections. The two options
are Short (400ns) and Long (800ns).
Transmission Power
