MAC address of AP2 (bridge) must be in the Remote MAC Address list of AP1 (bridge). Note: Also, the default gateways of AP1 and AP2 should be the IP address of the router on your network.
Advanced: Radio Setting
Data Rate — You can enter different values, such as 11 Mbps or 24 Mbps; but “Best” lets the AP determine the optimal data rate.
Transmit Power — Sometimes it’s useful to decrease the coverage range of each AP so that more APs can be located together without interference among them. The default value is 100%.
Beacon Interval — Enter a value from 20 to 1,000. A low interval will make the association and roaming process very responsive; however, throughput will decrease, so, to strike a balance, a typical beacon interval is 100 ms.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) — Enter a value from 1 to 255. This is always a multiple of the beacon interval. It determines how often the beacon contains a delivery traffic indication message (DTIM). The DTIM tells
RTS/CTS Threshold — Ready to send; clear to send. Enter a value from 0 to 2,347. Short Preamble — Enable to use a short preamble in the WLAN packet headers.
Most manufacturers implement long preambles: Even if there’s an AP/client mismatch, they can still connect well and the mismatch may not be noticeable to most users. Don’t change this setting without first seeking advice.
Protection Mode — Select “None,” “Always” or “Auto.”
Protection Rate — Select “1 Mbps,” “2 Mbps,” “5.5 Mbps” or “11 Mbps.” Protection Type — Select either “CTS only” or
Short Slot Time — Enable or disable short time slot usage.
Allow 2.4GHz 54Mbps Stations Only — Enable or disable the association of 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps stations only.
