DESCRIPTION

Wireless Band

Select the wireless standard you want to use for your wireless network.

Channel

Bandwidth

Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.

Select whether the WAP6804 uses a wireless channel width of

20MHz

,

40MHz

or

80MHz

. A

standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel

uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless clients

must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location

where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

Priority

Select a priority to configure the QoS for your wireless networks. Quality of Service (QoS)

allows you to prioritize wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of each

individual service. The WAP6804 has four priority levels, 0 has the highest priority and 3 has the

lowest priority.

Beacon Interval

This is the time lag between each of the beacons sent by the wireless network.

DTIM Period

The Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) period, is the moment the WAP6804 will broadcast

any buffered broadcast frames, after the WAP6804 broadcasts the beacon. Enter 1, and the

WAP6804 will transmit broadcast frames after every beacon, enter 2 and the WAP6804 will

transmit every other beacon.

Short Guard

Interval

Enable the

Short Guard Interval

to ensure the WAP6804 transmissions do not interfere with

each other.
