buffered data which still exists on the AP and waiting for
pickup.
Data Rate
The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point used to
transmit data packets. The access point will use the
highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the
data packets.
Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide
better wireless LAN performance.
Broadcast
ESSID
If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station
located within the coverage of this access point will
discover this access point more easily. If you are building
a wireless network which will open to the public, it’s
recommended to enable this feature. Disabling “Broadcast
ESSID” can provide better security.
IAPP
If you enable “IAPP”, it will allow wireless station roaming
between IAPP enabled access points within the same
wireless LAN.
CTS Protect
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism.
This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision
between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the
protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will
be a little lower due to many of frame traffic will be
transmitted.
Tx Power
You can adjust the wireless transmit power here. By
reduce the TX power, you can reduce the wireless
coverage to make it only cover the area you need.
Turbo Mode
By enable the turbo mode, you can enhance the
throughput up to 35Mbps.
WMM
WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. It is a standard created
to define quality of service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks. This
adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and
optimizes their performance when multiple concurring
applications, each with different latency and throughput
requirements, compete for network resources.
