This page displays the current status of the Wireless
settings of the ENH900EXT.
2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wireless Network
Operation Mode:
Select
Operation Mode
. The ENH900EXT
supports three different operation modes: Access Point, or
WDS (WDS AP, WDS Bridge, and WDS Station).
Wireless Mode: Supports 802.11b/g/n mixed mode in 2.4
GHz and 802.11a/n mixed mode in 5 GHz.
Channel HT Mode: The default channel bandwidth is 20
MHz/ 40 MHz. The larger the channel, the greater the
transmission quality and speed.
Extension Channel: Select upper or lower channel. Your
selection may affect the Auto channel function.
Transmit Power: Sets the power output of the wireless
signal.
Data Rate: Select a data rate from the drop-down list. The
data rate affects throughput of data in the ENH900EXT.
Select the best balance for you and your network but note
that the lower the data rate, the lower the throughput,
though transmission distance is also lowered.
RTS/CTS Threshold:
Specifies the threshold package size
for RTC/CTS. A small number causes RTS/CTS packets to be
sent more often and consumes more bandwidth.
Client Limits: Limits the total number of clients.
Aggregation:
Merges data packets into one packet. This
option reduces the number of packets, but also increases
packet sizes.
AP Detection: AP Detection can select the best channel to
use by scanning nearby areas for Access Points.
Distance: Specifies the distance between Access Points
and clients. Note that longer distances may drop higher-
