Channel Width Channel Tx Power (EIRP) Select the channel width of the EAP. The available options differ among different EAPs. For some EAPs, available options include 20MHz, 40MHz and 20/40MHz. For other EAPs, available options include 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and 20/40/80MHz. The 20/40 MHz and 20/40/80MHz channels enable higher data rates but leave fewer channels available for use by other 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices. When the radio mode includes 802.11n, we recommend that you set the channel bandwidth to 20/40 MHz or 20/40/80MHz to improve the transmission speed. Select the channel used by the EAP to improve wireless performance. The range of available channels is determined by the radio mode and the country setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the EAP scans available channels and selects a channel where the least amount of traffic is detected. Select the Tx Power (Transmit Power) in the 4 options: Low, Medium, High and Custom. Low, Medium and High are based on the Min. Txpower (Minimum transmit power) and Max. TxPower (Maximum transmit power. It may vary among different countries and regions). Low: Min. TxPower + (Max. TxPower-Min. TxPower) * 20% (round off the value) Medium: Min. TxPower + (Max. TxPower-Min. TxPower) * 60% (round off the value) High: Max. TxPower Custom: Enter a value manually. 5.4.4 Load Balance By setting the maximum number of clients accessing the EAPs, Load Balance helps to achieve rational use of network resources. Select the frequency band (2.4GHz/5GHz) and configure the parameters. Max Associated Clients Enable this function and specify the maximum number of connected clients. While more clients requesting to connect, the EAP will disconnect those with weaker signals. 121
