Parameter Description
Network Mode
It specifies the wireless network mode of the AP. This parameter can be set if Lock
Channel is not selected.
Available options for 2.4 GHz are 11b , 11g , 11b/g , and 11b/g/n and available options
for 5 GHz are 11a , 11ac , and 11a/n .
−
11b : The AP works in 802.11b mode and only wireless devices compliant with
802.11b can connect to the 2.4 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11g : The AP works in 802.11g mode and only wireless devices compliant with
802.11g can connect to the 2.4 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11b/g : The AP works in 802.11b/g mode and only wireless devices compliant
with 802.11b or 802.11g can connect to the 2.4 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11b/g/n : The AP works in 802.11b/g/n mode. Wireless devices compliant with
802.11b or 802.11g and wireless devices working at 2.4 GHz and compliant with
802.11n can connect to the 2.4 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11a : The AP works in 802.11a mode and only wireless devices compliant with
802.11a can connect to the 5 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11ac: The AP works in 802.11ac mode and only wireless devices compliant with
802.11ac can connect to the 5 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
−
11a/n : The AP works in 802.11a/n mode and only wireless devices compliant
with 802.11a or 802.11n can connect to the 5 GHz wireless networks of the AP.
Channel
It specifies the operating channel of the AP. This parameter can be set if Lock
Channel is not selected.
Auto : It indicates that the AP automatically adjusts its operating channel according to
the ambient environment.
Channel
Bandwidth
It specifies the wireless channel bandwidth of the AP. This parameter can be set if the
AP works in 802.11 b/g/n, 802.11ac, 802.11a/n mode and
Lock Channel is not
selected.
−
20 MHz : It indicates that the AP can use only 20 MHz channel bandwidth.
−
40 MHz : It indicates that the AP can use only 40 MHz channel bandwidth.
−
20/40 MHz : It indicates that the AP automatically adjusts its channel bandwidth
to 20 MHz or 40 MHz according to the ambient environment.
−
80MHz : It indicates that the AP can use only 80 MHz channel bandwidth.
Lock Channel
It is used to lock the channel settings of the AP. If this parameter is selected, channel
settings including
Country/Region , Network Mode , Channel , Channel Bandwidth ,
and Expansion Channel cannot be changed.
Transmit Power
It specifies the transmit power of the AP.
A greater transmit power of the AP offers broader network coverage. You can slightly
reduce the transmit power to improve the wireless network performance and
security.
Lock Power
It specifies whether the current transmit power settings of the AP can be changed. If
it is selected, the settings cannot be changed.
Preamble
A preamble is a group of bits located at the beginning of a packet to enable a receiver
of the packet to perform synchronization and prepare for receiving data.
By default, the
Long Preamble option is selected for compatibility with old network
adapters installed on wireless clients. To achieve better synchronization performance
of networks, you can select the
Short Preamble option.
