If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The 

maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW). 
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations. 
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in the 
US. All US models are fixed to US channels only. 

Channel Bonding

 

There are three options: 

20 MHz

40 MHz

, and 

20/40 MHz

. With this feature enabled, 

the Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the 
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.  
 
The AP One AC mini offers channel bonding options for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, 
as shown below. In addition to 

20 MHz

40 MHz

, and 

20/40 MHz

, the 5Ghz band offers 

80Mhz

, which is the default setting. 

 
 
 

 

Channel

 

This drop-down menu selects the 5GHz 802.11 channel to be used. If 

Auto

 is set, the 

system will perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the 
most suitable channel automatically. 
The AP One AC mini allows setting channels on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, as shown 
below. 
 
 
 

 

Output Power

 

This drop-down menu determines the power at which your access point will broadcast. 
When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power level, 
regardless of context. When 

Auto

 is selected, the AP will adjust its power level based 

on surrounding APs to maximize performance. 
While single-radio models allow setting power output levels for one frequency band only, 
the AP One AC mini provide output power settings for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz 
bands, as shown below. 
 

 

Beacon Rate

 

This drop-down menu provides the option to send beacons in different transmit bit rates. 
The bit rates are 

1Mbps

2Mbps

5.5Mbps

6Mbps

, and 

11Mbps

Beacon Interval

 

Set the time between each beacon send. Available options are 

100ms

250ms

, and 

500ms

DTIM

 

Set the frequency for the beacon to include delivery traffic indication messages (DTIM). 
The interval unit is measured in milliseconds.

 

RTS Threshold

 

Set the minimum packet size for your access point to send an RTS using the RTS/CTS 
handshake. Setting 

0

 disables this feature. 

Fragmentation 

Enter a value to limit the maximum frame size, which can improve performance.
