Periodical Channel
Refresh
Specifies whether the access point
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.
