Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
After you have configured the wireless access point as explained in the previous sections,
test the computers on your LAN for wireless connectivity before you position and mount the
wireless access point at its permanent position.
To test for wireless connectivity:
1.
Configure the 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n wireless adapters of your computers so that
they all have the same SSID and channel that you have configured on the wireless
access point.
2.
Verify that your computers have a wireless link to the wireless access point. If you have
enabled the DHCP server on the wireless access point, verify that your computers are able
to obtain an IP address through DHCP from the wireless access point.
MCS Index / Data Rate
11na mode only
Note:
For most
networks, the default
settings work fine.
From the drop-down menu, select a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS)
index and transmit data rate for the wireless network. The default setting is Best.
For a list of all options that you can select, see
Factory Default Settings
on
page
127.
Channel Width
From the drop-down menu, select a channel width. The
options are Dynamic 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz. The
default is Dynamic 20/40 MHz. A wider channel improves the
performance, but some legacy devices can operate only in
either 20 MHz or 40 MHz.
Guard Interval
From the drop-down menu, select the guard interval to
protect transmissions from interference. The default is Auto,
or you can select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy devices can
operate only with a long guard interval.
Output Power
From the drop-down menu, select the transmission power of the wireless access
point: Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Minimum. The default is Full.
Note:
Increasing the power improves performance, but if two or more wireless
access points are operating in the same area and on the same channel,
interference can occur.
Note:
Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio
frequency (RF) output power in your country.
