Operation Mode
Ad-hoc: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without
the use of an access point (AP). Use this mode if there is no wireless infrastructure or where services are not required.
Infrastructure: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through
an Access Point (AP). This mode is the default factory setting.
SSID
Network Name is also known as SSID, which stands for Service Set Identifier. Any client in Infrastructure mode has to
indicate the SSID of an Access Point to start accessing the service from behind such as internet access.
Channel
Channels are important to understand because they affect the overall capacity of your Wireless LAN. A channel
represents a narrow band of radio frequency. A radio frequency modulates within a band of frequencies; as a result,
there is a limited amount of bandwidth within any given range to carry data. It is important that the frequencies do not
overlap or else the throughput would be significantly lowered as the network sorts and reassembles the data packets
sent over the air.
These are the only 3 channels out of the 11 available that do not overlap with one another. To avoid interference within
the network with multiple APs, set each AP to use one of the 3 channels (e.g. Channel 1) and then the other AP to be
one of the other 2 channels (i.e. Channel 6 or Channel 11) within the range of the wireless radio. This simple method
will reduce interference and improve network reliability.
802.11b/g Wireless Channel Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz – 2.497 GHz
802.11b/g Non-overlapping Channel Frequency Ranges
•
Channel 1 = 2.401 GHz – 2.423 GHz
•
Channel 6 = 2.426 GHz – 2.448 GHz
•
Channel 11 = 2.451 GHz – 2.473 GHz
Americas: Wireless Channels 1 – 11
Asia: Wireless Channels 1 – 14
Europe: Wireless Channels 1 – 13
Transmission Rate
This option indicates the transmission rate of the bridge. Specify the rate according to the speed of your wireless
network from the list. Most of the time the default setting Best (automatic) should be selected for best performance.
You may want to adjust the setting manually If your link quality and signal strength is usually low or high to get the best
performance.
WEP enabled
Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b
standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. This option will enable the
WEP security authenticator.
