Configuring Advance Wireless Settings

Objective

To configure advance wireless settings.

This allows you to further optimize wireless settings for better performance.

Note It is recommended that you leave the default settings as is; however, if you are experiencing connection or performance difficulties, altering these settings may improve performance.

Steps

1.Navigate to Settings > LAN > Wireless. The Wireless page to configure the Advanced Settings appears.

2.Select the power level for your wireless connection from the Power Setting drop-down list. The configured power level is the actual transmitted radio power at the access point. The default list is from 1 to 4. Following table provides the output power levels for 802.11b and

802.11g types of wireless modes:

Power Settings	Radio Output Power
	802.11b (mW)	802.11g (mW)
1 (maximum)	50	30
2	25	15
3	12	8
4	6	4

3.Select the Wireless Mode from the drop-down list. This allows you to force the gateway to use 802.11b/g, 802.11b-only, or 802.11g-only modes of operation. Check the wireless mode supported by the wireless adapter before configuring this option.

4.Enter the DTIM Period (seconds) in the text box. This Delivery Traffic Indication Message

(DTIM) value determines the interval at which the access point sends its broadcast traffic.

5.Select the Maximum Connection Rate from the drop-down list. This is the maximum rate at which your wireless connection works. Select 1, 2, 5.5, 11, or 22 Mbps for 802.11b- based models and 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps for 802.11b/g-based models.
