Select the number of radio channels used by the access point. The wireless adapters that
connect to the access point should share the same channel.
Select the basic data transmission speed supported by the access point. When the access
point works in 11b mode, the maximum data rate is 11Mbps, allowing two options including
1
,

and

to be selected.

When
Auto
is selected, the device will choose the most suitable transmission rate
automatically. The higher the data rate used, the shorter the distance allowed between the
adapter and the wireless stations. When the adapter works in 11b mode, the maximum
data rate is 11Mbps, leaving only
Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps
options to be selected.
SSID
The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN,
which prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. The default SSID of
the access point is
WLAN_AP
. Wireless adapters connecting to the access point should
set up the same SSID as the access point.
Hide SSID
If the
Hide SSID
check box is enabled, the access point will not appear in the site survey
list of any wireless adapters. It means only the wireless adapters with the same SSID can
connect to the access point, avoiding unauthorized access.
Tx Power
There are four levels to chose from, to configure the transmission power of the access
point. The higher transmission power, the larger transmission distance and wireless
coverage.
