Plug & Play Or Get Technical
Multicast Fast: -
Provides the ability to minimize packet loss in a network when there is a
link or node failure by enhancing, but not changing, multicast routing protocols
.
Maximum per AP: -
Number of permitted on the AP. Prevents over loading and therefore
slowing down of the AP
WLAN Partition: -
For security. Enabling WLAN Partition prevents associated wireless
clients from communicating with each other.
Short GI: -
Short Guard Interval can increases the data rate by up to 10%.
Coverage threshold: -
The signal level at the point where the AP drops the device.
TX power: -
Careful setting of this can reduce the channel overlap and degrading of the
WiFi signal if using with more than one AP. Especially useful when roaming and set with
coverage threshold.
Preferred 5G: -
The access point will first offer 5G to the device before falling back to 2.4G.
DFS:-
When support for DFS is enabled, it will be necessary for WiFi access points to verify
that any radar in proximity is not using DFS frequencies. This process is called
Channel
Availability Check
, and
it’s executed during the boot process of the access point (AP) as well
as during its normal operations.
If the AP detects that a radar is using a particular DFS channel, then it will exclude that
channel from the list of available channels. This state will last for 30 minutes, after which the
AP will check again if the channel can be used for WiFi transmissions.
The
Channel Availability Check
performed during the boot process can take anywhere
between 1 and 10 minutes, depending on which country
you’re in. For this reason, DFS
channels are not immediately available when an AP boots. WiFi networks that are servicing
real-time and mission-critical applications may want to avoid such disconnections caused by
DFS frequencies.
VAP 1-3: -
In each of the 2G & 5G sections you can allocate up to three
VAPs (Virtual Access points)
This is ideal for when you want
to give guests or visitors access to WiFi but for security, don’t
want to give them
your usual
password.
You can setup with
a temporary VAP
SSID and
password and
simply remove
when finished.
The VAP user will
not be able to scan
