Parameter
Description
regulations of different countries or regions concerning channels.
Network Mode
It specifies the wireless network mode (also called 802.11 mode, radio mode, or
wireless mode) of the router. A proper network mode enables the clients to get the
maximum transfer rate and compatibility.
Available options for 2.4 GHz band: 11b, 11g, 11b/g, and 11b/g/n (default).
Available options for 5 GHz band: 11a, 11ac (default), and 11a/n mixed.
You are recommended to keep the default settings.
Channel
Specify the channel in which this device operates. Select one idle channel in the
ambient environment to prevent interference. Auto indicates that this device
automatically changes to a channel rarely used in the ambient environment to
prevent interference.
Channel Bandwidth
Select the channel bandwidth to accommodate higher transmission speed.
Available options for 2.4 GHz band: 20MHz (default), 40MHz, and 20/40MHz.
Available options for 5 GHz band: 20MHz, 40MHz, and 80MHz (default).
RSSI Threshold
It specifies the minimum wireless client signal strength acceptable to the router. A
mobile client with signal strength lower than this threshold cannot connect to the
router. You can set this parameter to ensure that mobile clients connect to router
with strong signal strength.
Deployment Mode
It specifies the deployment mode of the router. This parameter is valid only for 2.4
GHz networks. Set this parameter based on the application scenario. The options
include:
- Coverage-oriented: Apply to scenarios with large area, multiple walls,
decentralized users and less than 10 SSIDs in ambient environment.
- Capacity-oriented: Apply to scenarios with intensive users, open and large areas,
and more than 25 SSIDs in ambient environment.
Prioritize 5 GHz
It specifies that a wireless client uses the 5 GHz SSID first to connect to the device if
the wireless client supports both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz networks and the networks use
the same SSID and password.
- To make this function take effect, the SSID cannot contain any Chinese characters.
- The default RSSI threshold to enable this function is -80 dBm. You can adjust the
threshold by customizing the Prioritize Threshold 5 GHz parameter.
Prioritize 5 GHz
Threshold
It specifies the RSSI threshold value to trigger the Prioritize 5 GHz function. The
default value is -80 dBm.
You are recommended to keep the default settings.
Air Interface Scheduling
It specifies whether to enable the air interface scheduling function.
This function allows all clients to transmit data for the same duration. If a client
transmits data at a low speed and does not finish data transmission within the
duration, it can continue transmitting data only in its next data transmission
