DTIM Period Data Rate N Data Rate Channel Width Preamble Type Broadcast ESSID WMM CTS Protect Tx Power Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. The default value is 3. Set the wireless data transfer rate. The default is set to auto. Set the data rate of 802.11n. The default is set to auto. Select wireless channel width (bandwidth used by wireless signals from the device) - the recommended value is Auto 20/40MHz. Set the wireless radio preamble type. The default value is "Short Preamble". Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled, the ESSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi network to clients - clients must manually enter the ESSID in order to connect. A hidden (disabled) ESSID is typically more secure than a visible (enabled) SSID. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is also disabled when SSID broadcast is disabled. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology can improve the performance of certain network applications, such as audio/video streaming, network telephony (VoIP) and others. When WMM is enabled, the device will prioritize different kinds of data and give higher priority to applications which require instant responses for better performance. 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". Set the power output of the wireless radio. You may not require 100% output power. Setting a lower power output can enhance security since potentially malicious/unknown users in distant areas will not be able to access your signal. 55

DTIM Period
Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. The
default value is 3.
Data Rate
Set the wireless data transfer rate. The
default is set to auto.
N Data Rate
Set the data rate of 802.11n. The default is
set to auto.
Channel Width
Select wireless channel width (bandwidth
used by wireless signals from the device)
–
the recommended value is Auto 20/40MHz.
Preamble Type
Set the wireless radio preamble type. The
default value is “Short Preamble”.
Broadcast ESSID
Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When
enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled,
the ESSID will not be visible as an available
Wi-Fi network to clients
–
clients must
manually enter the ESSID in order to
connect. A hidden (disabled) ESSID is
typically more secure than a visible (enabled)
SSID. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is also
disabled when SSID broadcast is disabled.
WMM
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology can
improve the performance of certain network
applications, such as audio/video streaming,
network telephony (VoIP) and others. When
WMM is enabled, the device will prioritize
different kinds of data and give higher
priority to applications which require instant
responses for better performance.
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
Set the power output of the wireless radio.
You may not require 100% output power.
Setting a lower power output can enhance
security since potentially malicious/unknown
users in distant areas will not be able to
access your signal.
