Description
Band
Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x
standards. The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units
to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x
devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE 802.11g
creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a
standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a
has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such
as offering more channels.)
Channel
Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific
channel.
Auto Channel Timer
(min)
Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)
802.11n/EWC
An equipment interoperability standard setting based on
IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC)
Bandwidth
Select 20MHz or 40MHz bandwidth. 40MHz bandwidth
uses two adjacent 20MHz bands for increased data
throughput.
Control Sideband
Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40MHz mode.
802.11n Rate
Set the physical transmission rate (PHY).
802.11n Protection
Turn Off for maximized throughput.
Turn On for greater security.
Support 802.11n
Client Only
Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router.
Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g client’s access to the router.
RIFS Advertisement
One of several draft-n features designed to improve
efficiency. Provides a shorter delay between OFDM
transmissions than in802.11a or g.
OBSS Co-Existence
Co-existence between 20 MHZ AND 40 MHZ overlapping
Basic Service Set (OBSS) in WLAN.
RX Chain Power Save
Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains,
going from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power.
RX Chain Power Save
Quiet Time
The number of seconds the traffic must be below the
PPS value below before the Rx Chain Power Save feature
activates itself.
RX Chain Power Save
PPS
The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be
processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet
Time, described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save
feature activates itself.
54g Rate
Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates:
Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible
but drops to lower rates when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps,
5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is
dependent on signal strength.
Multicast Rate
Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)
