Chapter 12 AP Profile Table 38 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Radio > Add/Edit (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Disassociate Set a minimum kick-off signal strength. When a wireless client's signal strength is lower than Station Threshold the specified threshold, the Zyxel Device disconnects the wireless client from the AP. -20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -105 is the weakest. Allow Station Select this option to allow a wireless client to try to associate with the AP again after it is Connection after Multiple Retries disconnected due to weak signal strength. Station Retry Count Set the maximum number of times a wireless client can attempt to re-connect to the AP Allow 802.11n/ ac/ax stations only Select this option to allow only 802.11 n/ac/ax clients to connect, and reject 802.11a/b/g clients. Blacklist DFS channels in presence of radar This field is available if 802.11 Band is set to 5G and Channel Selection is set to DCS. Enable this to temporarily blacklist the wireless channels in the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) range whenever a radar signal is detected by the Zyxel Device. Enable 802.11d Clear the checkbox to prevent the AP from broadcasting a country code, also called a country Information Element (IE), in beacon frames. This makes the AP incompatible with 802.11d networks and devices. Multicast Settings Transmission Mode 802.11d is a WiFi network specification that allows the AP to broadcast a country code to WiFi client. The country code indicates where the AP is located. If WiFi clients are unable to connect to the AP due to an incompatible country code, you should disable 802.11d. Specify how the Zyxel Device handles wireless multicast traffic. Select Multicast to Unicast to broadcast wireless multicast traffic to all of the wireless clients as unicast traffic. Unicast traffic dynamically changes the data rate based on the application's bandwidth requirements. The retransmit mechanism of unicast traffic provides more reliable transmission of the multicast traffic, although it also produces duplicate packets. Multicast Rate(Mbps) Minimum WLAN Rate Control Setting Select Fixed Multicast Rate to send multicast traffic to all wireless clients at a single data rate. You must know the multicast application's bandwidth requirements and set it in the following field. If you set Transmission Mode to Fixed Multicast Rate, select a data rate at which the Zyxel Device transmits multicast packets to wireless clients. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video, select a fixed multicast rate higher than 4 Mbps. Sets the minimum data rate that 2.4Ghz WiFi clients can connect at, in Mbps. At the time of write, allowed values are: 1, 2, 5. 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54. Sets the minimum data rate that 5Ghz WiFi clients can connect at, in Mbps. At the time of write, allowed values are: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54. OK Cancel Increasing the minimum data rate can reduce network overhead and improve WiFi network performance in high density environments. However, WiFi clients that do not support the minimum data rate will not be able to connect to the AP. Click OK to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device.

list, which can assign specific SSID configurations to your APs; a security list, which can assign specific

Disassociate

Station Threshold

Set a minimum kick-off signal strength. When a wireless client’s signal strength is lower than

the specified threshold, the Zyxel Device disconnects the wireless client from the AP.

-20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -105 is the weakest.

Connection after

Multiple Retries

Select this option to allow a wireless client to try to associate with the AP again after it is

disconnected due to weak signal strength.

Station Retry

Count

Set the maximum number of times a wireless client can attempt to re-connect to the AP

Allow 802.11n/

only

Select this option to allow only 802.11 n/ac/ax clients to connect, and reject 802.11a/b/g

clients.

Enable 802.11d

Clear the checkbox to prevent the AP from broadcasting a country code, also called a

country Information Element (IE), in beacon frames. This makes the AP incompatible with

802.11d networks and devices.

802.11d is a WiFi network specification that allows the AP to broadcast a country code to

WiFi client. The country code indicates where the AP is located. If WiFi clients are unable to

, select a data rate at which the Zyxel

Device transmits multicast packets to wireless clients. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video,

select a fixed multicast rate higher than 4 Mbps.

Minimum WLAN Rate

Control Setting

Sets the minimum data rate that 2.4Ghz WiFi clients can connect at, in Mbps. At the time of

write, allowed values are: 1, 2, 5. 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54.

Sets the minimum data rate that 5Ghz WiFi clients can connect at, in Mbps. At the time of

write, allowed values are: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54.

Increasing the minimum data rate can reduce network overhead and improve WiFi

network performance in high density environments. However, WiFi clients that do not

support the minimum data rate will not be able to connect to the AP.
