possible range and, in particular, the highest possible data transfer
rates.
Access point
density
The more access points there are in a given area, the more the reception areas
of the antennae intersect. The setting 'Access point density' can be used to
reduce the reception sensitivity of the antenna.
Maximum distance Large distances between transmitter and receiver give rise to increasing
delays for the data packets. If a certain limit is exceeded, the responses to
transmitted packets no longer arrive within an acceptable time limit. The entry
for maximum distance increases the wait time for the responses. This distance
is converted into a delay which is acceptable for wireless communications.
Configuration with
