5. Do one of the following:
•
2.4 GHz radio: To change the settings for the 2.4 GHz radio, scroll down to the
Advanced Wireless Settings (2.4 GHz/b/g/n/ax) section.
•
5 GHz radio: To change the settings for the 5 GHz radio, scroll down to the
Advanced Wireless Settings (5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax) section.
Note: If the smart connect feature is enabled (which it is by default), the page
presents a single option only in the Advanced Wireless Settings (2.4 GHz/b/g/n/ax
& 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax) section. In that situation, any change in the CTS/RTS
threshold or preamble mode applies to both radios simultaneously. If the smart
connect feature is disabled, you can change the CTS/RTS threshold and preamble
mode for each radio individually.
6. In the CTS/RTS threshold (1-2347) field, enter a value from 1 to 2437.
The default value is 2347.
7. Form the Preamble Mode menu, select the preamble mode:
•
Automatic: The automatic option (which is the default option) lets the AP process
both long and short preambles.
•
Long Preamble: A long transmit preamble might provide a more reliable
connection or a slightly longer range.
•
Short Preamble: A short transmit preamble might give better performance.
CAUTION:
Incorrect settings might disable the WiFi function for the selected radio
unexpectedly.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Change the transmission output power for
a radio
By default, the transmission output power of the AP is set at the maximum. If two or
more APs are operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference can
occur. In such a situation, you might want to decrease the transmission output power
for one or both radios. Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for
total radio frequency (RF) output power in your country.
