Chapter 3 Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings Configure the Access Point's advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance. Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings NOTE: The settings on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen are designed for advanced users only. Advanced Wireless AP Isolation This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Access Point but not with each other. To use this function, select Enabled. AP Isolation is disabled by default. Authentication Type The Authentication Type setting is available if the Security mode is WEP. The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to only use Shared Key authentication. Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the Access Point can transmit. The Access Point will advertise its Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates will be used. The Access Point will also advertise that it will automatically select the best rate for transmission. The default setting is Default, when the Access Point can transmit at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, 18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for use with older wireless technology, and All, when the Access Point can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of Wireless-N Access Point with Dual-Band Advanced Configuration data transmission. If you want to specify the Access Point's rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting. Transmission Rate The Transmission Rate setting is available if the Network Mode is set to Wireless-B/G Only, Wireless-G Only, Wireless-B Only, Wireless-A Only, or Mixed. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Access Point automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Access Point and a wireless client. The default is Auto. N Transmission Rate The N Transmission Rate setting is available if the Network Mode is set to Mixed or Wireless-N Only. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your Wireless-N networking. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Access Point automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the AutoFallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Access Point and a wireless client. The default is Auto. Transmission Power This option sets the percentage of maximal transmit power relative to the regulatory domain restrictions. For example, if the regulatory domain restriction allows transmissions of up to 20 dB, then setting the percentage at 50% allows maximal transmit power of 10 dB. Select the percentage you want to use: 12%, 25%, 50%, or 100%. The default is 100%. CTS Protection Mode The Access Point will automatically use CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the Access Point in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the Access Point's ability to catch all Wireless-N and Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease performance. The default is Auto. To disable this option, select Disabled. Beacon Interval Enter a value between 20 and 1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100. DTIM Interval This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. 11
