AP Series
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.
Channel Bonding
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
Threshold
Enter a value to limit the maximum frame size, which can improve performance.
Distance / Time
Convertor
This slider and text entry field can be used to interactively set slot time.
Slot Time
This field provides the option to modify the unit wait time before your access point transmits.
The default value is 9
μs
