ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Table 31. Advanced wireless settings (continued) Setting Description Client Isolation From the drop-down list, select one of the following options: • Enable. Communication between wireless clients that are associated to different virtual access points (VAPs) is blocked. • Disable. Communication between wireless clients that are associated to different VAPs is allowed. This is the default setting. Max. Wireless Clients Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is 128 clients. Band Steering to 5GHz Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Select the Enable radio button to enable band steering to the 5 GHz band. When band steering is enabled, the wireless access point identifies wireless clients that are dual-band capable and can force them to connect to the 5 GHz band rather than 2.4 GHz band. Wireless clients that are already connected to the 2.4 GHz band can be forced into the 5 GHz band. In general, the 5 GHz band has more channels available, has more bandwidth, and causes less interference for wireless clients. By default, the Disable radio button is selected, and band steering is disabled. When band steering is enabled, you can set the RSSI thresholds that determine whether a wireless client is forced into the 5 GHz band. Rssi Threshold 2.4GHz Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Enter a value for the minimum received signal strength indicator (RSSI) threshold that a wireless client needs to have to connect to the 2.4 GHz band. The default is 15. The RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band functions in the following way: • If the RSSI of the wireless client is less than the minimum RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band, the wireless client connects to the 2.4 GHz band and is not forced into the 5 GHz band. • If the RSSI of the wireless client is equal to or more than the minimum RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band, the wireless client can be forced into the 5 GHz band. Whether the wireless client is actually forced into the 5 GHz band also depends on the minimum RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band. Rssi Threshold 5GHz Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Enter the minimum RSSI threshold that a wireless client needs to have to connect to the 5 GHz radio. The default is 15. The RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band functions in the following way: • If the RSSI of the wireless client is less than the minimum RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band, the wireless client connects to the 2.4 GHz band and is not forced into the 5 GHz band. • If the RSSI of the wireless client is equal to or more than the minimum RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band, the wireless client can be forced into the 5 GHz band. Whether the wireless client is actually forced into the 5 GHz band also depends on the minimum RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band. 4. Click Apply to save your settings. Advanced Configuration 110

•
Enable
. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated to different virtual access points (VAPs) is blocked.
•
Disable
. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated to different VAPs is allowed. This is the default setting.
Max. Wireless Clients
Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously
connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is
128 clients.
Band Steering to 5GHz
Note:
This setting does not apply
to the 802.11a/na modes.
Select the
Enable
radio button to enable band steering to the
5 GHz band. When band steering is enabled, the wireless access point
identifies wireless clients that are dual-band capable and can force
them to connect to the 5 GHz band rather than 2.4 GHz band. Wireless
clients that are already connected to the 2.4 GHz band can be forced

In general, the 5 GHz band has more channels available, has more
bandwidth, and causes less interference for wireless clients. By default,
the Disable radio button is selected, and band steering is disabled.
When band steering is enabled, you can set the RSSI thresholds that
determine whether a wireless client is forced into the 5 GHz band.

threshold that a wireless client needs to have to connect to the 2.4 GHz

can be forced into the 5 GHz band. Whether the wireless client is
actually forced into the 5 GHz band also depends on the minimum
RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band.
