2.4GHz
Wireless Radio:
Check the box to enable 2.4GHz Wireless Radio.
Wireless Mode: Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.
Wireless network created by the EAP work within 2.4GHz. The EAP
supports 802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g, and 802.11n standards. It is
recommended to select 802.11b/g/n, in which way clients supporting
11b, 11g or 11n mode can access your wireless network.
Channel Width: Select the channel width of this device.
Options
include 20MHz, 40MHz and 20/40MHz (this device
automatically selects 20MHz or 40MHz, and 20MHz will be used if
40MHz is not available).
According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a channel width of 40MHz
can increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower
bandwidth due to the following reasons:
1. To increase the available number of channels within the limited total
bandwidth.
2. To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
devices in the environment.
3. Lower bandwidth can concentr
ate higher transmit power,
increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.
TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapter for information on configuring the wireless network of
the EAP.
