Setup
this speed when necessary. However, this option is backward-
compatible with 802.11b and (standard) 802.11g.
•
Static Super 802.11g (108Mbps)
- This uses
Packet Bursting
,
FastFrame
,
Compression
, and
Channel Bonding
(using 2 chan-
nels) to increase throughput.
Because "Channel Bonding" is always used, this method is
NOT compatible with 802.11b and (standard) 802.11g
.
Only clients supporting the "Atheros Super G" mode can connect
at 108Mbps; they will always connect at this speed. Select this op-
tion only if all wireless stations support this "Atheros Super G"
mode.
AP Mode
Both Bridge mode and AP mode can be used simultaneously, unless
AP mode is "Client/Repeater". Select the desired AP mode:
•
None (disable)
- Disable AP mode. Use this if you want to act a
Bridge only.
•
Access Point
- operate as a normal Access Point
•
Client/Repeate
r - act as a client or repeater for another Access
Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of
the other AP in the
Repeater AP MAC Address
field. In this
mode, all traffic is sent to the specified AP.
Note
: If using Client/Repeater mode, you cannot use Bridge Mode.
Repeater AP
MAC Address
This is not required unless the AP Mode is "Client/Repeater". In this
mode, you must provide the MAC address of the other AP in this field.
You can either enter the MAC address directly, or, if the other AP is
on-line and broadcasting its SSID, you can click the "Select AP"
button and select from a list of available APs.
Broadcast SSID
If Disabled, no SSID is broadcast.
If enabled, you must select the security profile whose SSID is to be
broadcast. This can be done the "Security Profiles" screen. The SSID
will then be broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no
SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connec-
tions to this Access Point.
