Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

Periodical Channel

Specifies whether the access point

Refresh

periodically reruns the channel selection

 

process. Here are the guidelines:

 

- This selection is only available when the

 

Channel parameter is set to Auto.

 

- Adding a check mark to the dialog box

 

enables the feature.

 

- Removing the check mark from the

 

dialog box disables the feature. This is the

 

default setting.

 

- The access point runs the channel

 

selection process every 24 hours, but only

 

if the radio is not forwarding traffic from

 

wireless clients. If it detects traffic, the

 

access point delays the selection process

 

for thirty minutes.

 

 

Channel Bandwidth

Specifies whether the radio should use a

 

40 MHz-wide channel or the legacy 20

 

MHz-wide channel. Here are the

 

guidelines:

 

- The 40 MHz-wide channel allows for

 

higher data rates, but reduces the number

 

of available channels for other wireless

 

devices.

 

- This parameter is only available with

 

802.11n modes.
