Channel Selection Schedule
: When using the “Smart” channel selection, this controls whether the router will
periodically rescan for a better channel and change to it. Select from “Once,” “Daily,” “Weekly,” or “Monthly.”
Note that there may be a momentary WiFi disconnection while the channel changes.
Channel
: (Shows if
User Selection
is selected.) The WiFi channel* corresponds to a frequency the router uses to
communicate with other devices. For 2.4 GHz, the range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other.
Select a channel from the dropdown list:
•
1 (2412 MHz)
•
2 (2417 MHz)
•
3 (2422 MHz)
•
4 (2427 MHz)
•
5 (2432 MHz)
•
6 (2437 MHz)
•
7 (2442 MHz)
•
8 (2447 MHz)
•
9 (2452 MHz)
•
10 (2457 MHz)
•
11 (2462 MHz)
For 5.0 GHz, the ranges are 36 to 64 and 149 to 165.
•
36 (5180 MHz)
•
40 (5200 MHz)
•
44 (5220 MHz)
•
48 (5240 MHz)
•
149 (5745 MHz)
•
153 (5765 MHz)
•
157 (5785 MHz)
•
161 (5805 MHz)
•
165 (5825 MHz)

Client Timeout
: If the access point is not able to communicate with the client it will disconnect it after this
timeout (in seconds).
TX Power
: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there
might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can
prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area.
RTS Threshold
: When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance
can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless
transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the
RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value.
Fragmentation Threshold
: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve
performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur
when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default
value. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM
: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
