can provide connectivity services for ACCESS POINTs under Bridge mode.
Wireless Network Name (SSID):
This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network.
Keep it identical on all those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed
32 characters.
Broadcast SSID:
Under AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that
may have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA can not scan and find IEEE
802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment, so that malicious attack by some illegal STA
could be avoided.
802.11 Mode:
The IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment can communicate with wireless
devices of 802.11a or 802.11a/n.
Channel Mode:
Four levels are available: 20MHz and 40MHz. The last one can enhance data throughput, but it
takes more bandwidth, thus it might cause potential interference
Channel:
Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper
operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation.
Extension Channel:
Only applicable to AP, AP Repeater, and 40MHz channel width) indicates the use of channel
bonding that allows the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment to use two
channels at once. Two options are available: Upper Channel and Lower Channel.
Data Rate:
Usually
“
Auto
” is preferred. Under this rate, the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises
Equipment will automatically select the highest available rate to transmit. In some cases, however,
like where there is no great demand for speed, you can have a relatively-low transmit rate for
compromise of a long distance.
HT Protect:
Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under
