N Data Rate
Set the data rate of 802.11 Draft-N clients, available options are MCS
0 to MCS 15, it’s safe to set this option to ‘Auto’ and it’s not necessary
to change this value unless you know what will happen after
modification.
Channel Width
Select wireless channel width (bandwidth taken by wireless signals of
this access point). It’s suggested to select ‘Auto 20/40MHz’. Do not
change to ’20 MHz’ unless you know what it is.
Preamble Type
Set the type of preamble of wireless radio, Do not modify default value
if you don’t know what it is, default setting is ‘Short Preamble’.
Broadcast ESSID
Decide if the wireless access point will broadcast its own ESSID or
not. You can hide the ESSID of your wireless access point (set the
option to ‘Disable’), so only people those who know the ESSID of your
wireless access point can get connected.
WMM
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology, which can improve the
performance of certain network applications, like audio/video
streaming, network telephony (VoIP), and others. When you enable
WMM function, the access point will define the priority of different
kinds of data, to give higher priority to applications which require
instant responding. Therefore you can improve the performance of
such network applications.
CTS Protect
Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of radio signal collisions
between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless access points. It’s
recommended to set this option to ‘Auto’.
TX Power
You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless you’re using
this wireless access point in a really big space, you may not have to
set output power to 100%. This will enhance security (malicious /
unknown users in distance will not be able to reach your wireless
access point).
After you finish with setting, please click ‘Apply’, and the following message will be displayed:
When you see this message, the settings you made is successfully save. You can click
