8.3 Wireless Advanced Settings
Data Rate
Select Data Rate from the drop down list. Data rate will affect the
efficiency of the throughput. A lower data rate will allow for
transmissions to travel longer distances.
Transmit Power
Select Transmit Power to increase or decrease the transmit power.
Altering the transmit power will change the wireless coverage
area correspondingly; however, setting the Transmit Power to an
extreme level may cause issues for wireless connectivity. Default
transmit power is 20. The maximum transmit power setting is
29
RTS/CTS Threshold
Specify Threshold package size for RTC/CTS. Smaller thresholds
will cause RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often, consuming
more of the available bandwidth. In addition, if heavy traffic
occurs, the wireless network is more robust in the event of
interference or collisions.
Distance
Specify distance range between AP and Clients. Farther distances
may utilize lower connection speeds. Intended for use with long
range point-to-point applications of 2 KM or longer.
Short GI
Short GI is an improvement of 802.11n and 802.11b/g. It can
