Interface State
Options: Enabled, Disabled
The integrated WiFi module can be enabled or disabled by selecting an
option from this dropdown menu.
The
Enabled option will enable the integrated WiFi module, allowing it to
be used.
The
Disabled option will disable the integrated WiFi module, by shutting it
down completely. This option is useful when reduced power consumption
is required.
Antenna
Options: External, Internal
The type of WiFi antenna can be selected from this dropdown menu. An
external antenna might provide better connection quality, while the internal
multilayer chip antenna can be superior in terms of simplified setup when
operated over a short distance.
The external antenna can be attached at the provided SMA connector.
If selected Antenna option does not match hardware setup (i.e.
the Antenna option is set to “External”, but no external antenna is
actually attached) signal strength might be significantly degraded. N O T E
