See the rest of this chapter for information on the other labels in this screen.
Channel Width Select whether the EMG1302-R10A uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or Auto. If
Auto is selected, the EMG1302-R10A will use 40MHz if it is supported.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to
increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to
use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in
your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
This field is available only when you set the 802.11 Mode to 802.11n or
802.11b+g+n in the Advanced Setup screen.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the EMG1302-R10A.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the EMG1302-R10A.
Select 802.11b+g to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the EMG1302-R10A. The transmission rate of your EMG1302-
R10A might be reduced.
Select 802.11n to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the EMG1302-R10A.
Select 802.11g+n to allow either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the EMG1302-R10A. The transmission rate of your EMG1302-
R10A might be reduced.
Select 802.11b+g+n to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the EMG1302-R10A. The transmission rate of your
EMG1302-R10A might be reduced.
Security
Security Mode Choose the security mode from the drop-down list box. See Section 8.5 on page 81 for
more information on wireless security settings.
WPA-PSK
Compatible
This field appears when you choose WPA2-PSK as the Security Mode.
Check this field to allow wireless devices using WPA-PSK security mode to connect to
your EMG1302-R10A.
Pre-Shared Key WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a simple common password for authentication.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive keyboard characters.
Group Key Update
Timer
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out to
all clients.
The default is 3600 seconds (60 minutes).
