■
11n only
: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with
the Mini 3G Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps).
■
11g/n mixed
: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate
with the Mini 3G Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data
transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g
clients.
■
11b/g/n Mixed
: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the
Mini 3G Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission
rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.
◆
Network Name (SSID)
— The name of the wireless network service
provided by the Mini 3G Broadband Router. Clients that want to connect
to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Mini 3G
Broadband Router. (Default: “SMCWBR11S-3GN_AP”; Range: 1-32
characters)
◆
Multiple SSID1
— One additional VAP interface supported on the
device. (Default: no name configured; Range: 1-32 characters)
◆
Broadcast Network Name (SSID)
— By default, the Mini 3G
Broadband Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal.
Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because
wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to
connect. When set to disable, the Network Name SSID, and SSID1 are
automatically set to “Hide.” (Default: Enabled)
◆
AP Isolation
— The Mini 3G Broadband Router will isolate
communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally
for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)
◆
MBSSID AP Isolation
— The Mini 3G Broadband Router will isolate
wireless clients from different SSID.
◆
BSSID
— The identifier (MAC address) of the Mini 3G Broadband
Router in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
◆
Frequency (Channel)
— The radio channel that the Mini 3G
Broadband Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When
multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel
on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three
access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that
wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used
by the Mini 3G Broadband Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto
Select enables the Mini 3G Broadband Router to automatically select an
unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Channel 11)
