Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 5GHz 802.11 channel to be used. If Auto is set, the
system will perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the
most suitable channel automatically.
The AP One AC mini allows setting channels on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, as shown
below.
Output Power
This drop-down menu determines the power at which your access point will broadcast.
When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power level,
regardless of context. When Auto is selected, the AP will adjust its power level based
on surrounding APs to maximize performance.
While single-radio models allow setting power output levels for one frequency band only,
the AP One AC mini provide output power settings for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
bands, as shown below.
Beacon Rate
This drop-down menu provides the option to send beacons in different transmit bit rates.
The bit rates are 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 6Mbps, and 11Mbps.
Beacon Interval
Set the time between each beacon send. Available options are 100ms, 250ms, and
500ms.
DTIM
Set the frequency for the beacon to include delivery traffic indication messages (DTIM).
The interval unit is measured in milliseconds.
RTS Threshold
Set the minimum packet size for your access point to send an RTS using the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting 0 disables this feature.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Enter a value to limit the maximum frame size, which can improve performance.
Distance / Time
Convertor
This slider and text entry field can be used to interactively set slot time.
Slot Time
This field provides the option to modify the unit wait time before your access point
transmits. The default value is 9μs.
ACK Timeout
Set the wait time to receive an acknowledgement packet before retransmitting. The
default value is 48μs.
Frame
Aggregation
With this feature enabled, throughput will be increased by sending two or more data
frames in a single transmission.
Aggregation
Length
This field is only available when Frame Aggregation is enabled. It specifies the frame
length for frame aggregation. By default, it is set to 50000.
Max number of
Clients
Enter the maximum clients that can simultaneously connect to your access point or set
the value to 0 to allow unlimited clients.
