Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point AC3000 WAC540 User Manual (Continued) Setting Guard Interval Output Power Channel Description From the menu, select the value that protects radio transmissions from interference. An Auto guard interval (which is the default) improves performance, but some legacy devices can operate only with a long -800ns guard interval. The guard interval and channel width determine the available MCS index and data transmit rates. From the menu, select the transmission power of the radio. You can select 100%(Max), 50%, 25%, 12.5%, or 4%(Min). The default is 100%(Max). Note: If two or more access points are operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference can occur. In such a situation, you might want to decrease the output power for the access point. Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio frequency (RF) output power in your country. From the menu, select the WiFi channel for the radio. The available WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the country and the radio. (The channels in the 5 GHz band are divided between the low band and high band radios.) The default is Auto, which enables the radio to automatically select the most suitable channel. Note: You do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience interference (which is indicated by lost connections). Note: If you use multiple access points, reduce interference by selecting different channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels between adjacent access points (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10). 6. Click the Apply button. A pop-up warning window opens. 7. Click the OK button. The pop-up window closes and your settings are saved. The radio or radios restart and WiFi clients might need to reconnect. Turn a radio on or off By default, the 2.4 GHz radio and both 5 GHz radios broadcast. Turning off a radio disables WiFi access for the associated band, which affects all VAPs (or SSIDs) in that band. Turning off a radio can be helpful during configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting. Manage the Basic WiFi and 90 Radio Features User Manual
