Options for TTLS or PEAP as the EAP method
Authentication: Selects the authentication method
used by the AP, e.g. PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, or
MSCHAPV2.
Identity: Sets the identity used by the supplicant for
EAP authentication.
Password: Sets the password used by the supplicant
for EAP authentication.
MAC-Filter
This section tab is only available for a device
operating as an AP.
MAC-Address Filter: Lets you allow only devices with
the listed MAC address to associate with this AP, or
lets you block devices with the listed MAC address.
MAC-List: Adds the MAC address of the remote
device to either block or allow.
Advanced Settings
RTS Threshold: Sets the threshold for the packet size
above which the request to send (RTS) mechanism is
used. The default is 2346 octets. There is a trade-off
to consider when setting this parameter. On the one
hand, using a small value causes RTS packets to be
sent more often, consuming more of the available
bandwidth, and therefore reducing the throughput of
the network packet. On the other hand, when more
RTS packets are sent, the system recovers faster from
interference or collisions. This is useful in a heavily
loaded network, or a wireless network with high
electromagnetic interference.
Note: The following options for Station Isolation,
Maximum Stations, Minimum Stations RSSI, and
802.11n Only are available only for a device operating
as an AP.
Station Isolation: Prevents station-to-station
communication, unchecked by default. When Station
Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate
with one another normally by sending traffic through
the AP. When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP
blocks communication between wireless clients on
the same AP.
Maximum Stations: Specifies the maximum number
of associated stations, the default being 127.
Minimum Stations RSSI: Sets the minimum received
signal strength indicator for a station to be associated.
The default value of 0 means that the AP would allow
a station to associate independent of its RSSI.
802.11n Only: Forces the device to use only the
IEEE802.11n standard, unchecked by default.
WMM: Provides Quality of Service (QoS) features,
checked by default. Wireless multimedia enables the
classification of the network traffic into 4 main types,
voice, video, best effort, and background, in
decreasing order of priority. Higher priority traffic has
a higher transmission opportunity and would have to
wait less time to transmit. As a result, an existing
video stream would not be interrupted by additional
background processes.
