2.4GHz Wireless

Radio:

Check the box to enable 2.4GHz Wireless Radio.

Wireless Mode:

Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.

Wireless network created by the EAP is able to operate in the 2.4GHz frequency

The EAP supports 802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g, and 802.11n standards. It is

recommended to select 802.11b/g/n, in which way clients supporting 11b, 11g

or 11n mode can access your wireless network.

Channel Width:

Select the channel width of this device. Options include 20MHz, 40MHz and

20/40MHz (this device automatically selects 20MHz or 40MHz, and 20MHz will

be used if 40MHz is not available). According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a

channel width of 40MHz can increase wireless throughput. However, users

may choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:

1.

To increase the available number of channels within the limited total

bandwidth.

2.

To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other

devices in the environment.

3.

Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing

stability of wireless links over long distances.

Channel:

Select the channel used by this device to improve wireless performance.

1/2412MHz means the Channel is 1 and the frequency is 2412MHz. The

channel number varies in different regions. By default, channel is automatically

selected.

Tx power:

Enter the transmit power value. By default, the value is 20. The maximum

transmit power may vary among different countries or regions.

If the maximum transmit power is set to be larger than local regulation allows,

the maximum Tx power regulated will be applied in actual situation.

NOTE

:

In most cases, it is unnecessary to select maximum transmit power.

Selecting larger transmit power than needed may cause interference to

neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will reduce longevity of the

device. Select a certain transmit power is enough to achieve the best

performance.
