TRENDnet User's Guide  Regulatory Domain: The channel region assigned (FCC 1~11 or ETSI 1~13). This setting cannot be modified and is displayed for informational purposes.  Transmit Power: The wireless transmit power can be modified to a lower setting such as 50%, 25%, and 12% if necessary. Lowering the wireless transmit may help to better stabilize the wireless connectivity and reduce the effects of wireless interference in areas where there are several 2.4GHz wireless devices. (Default: 100%)  Data Rate: Select the operating wireless data rate.  Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation in wireless networks is the process of breaking down data communications into smaller data packets in order to improve data efficiency when transferring or receiving data between wireless devices. The fragmentation threshold defines the maximum size of the data packets that are broken down.  RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function. Default Value: 2347 (range: 256-2346)  Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about the router's wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each beacon transmission. Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 1-1000)  Bandwidth: This setting only applies to wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. Another term used to describe this parameter is Channel Width. Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network. o 20 MHz: This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. This setting may provide more stability than Auto 20/40 MHz for connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area. o Auto 20 MHz/40 MHz: This mode can automatically switch between using a single 20MHz channel or 40MHz (two 20MHz channels). When 40MHz is active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices support the 40MHz channel width. Enabling 20/40MHz typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting to an 802.11n client. © Copyright 2014 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-722BRM  20/40MHz Coexist: Select enable to allow both 20MHz and 40MHz bandwidth connections.  Legacy Protection: Select to enable legacy protection feature.  Control Sideband: Select the side band to use.  Aggregation: Select to enable link aggregation feature.  Short GI: Select to enable short guard interval (400ns). Access Control Filters Access control basics Wireless MAC address filters Advanced > Advanced Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using wireless MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific wireless clients using this router's wireless network. 1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page" on page 22). 2. Click on Advanced, click on Advanced Wireless, and click on Wireless MAC Filter. 3. Review the settings and click Apply to save settings.  Name (SSID): Select the SSID or wireless network name you would like to apply the wireless MAC filter rule.  MAC Restrict Mode: Select restriction type to use.  MAC Address: Enter the MAC address to apply the rule. Click Add to add MAC address to select rule. Note: Any unspecified MAC/IP addresses or entries without the Allow option checked will be denied network access. 18
