2. To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
devices in the environment.
3.
Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power,
increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.
Channel:
Select the channel used by this device to improve wireless
performance. 1/2412MHz means the Channel is 1 and the frequency is
2412MHz. By default, channel is automatically selected.
Tx power: Enter the transmit power value. By default, the value is 20.
If the maximum transmit power is set to be larger than local regulation
