Field | Description |
|
Basic Rate Set | Allows you to set the transmission rate. The | |
| access point broadcasts different transmission | |
| rates so clients know which transmission rate to | |
| use to join the network. | |
| The options are: | |
| 1 to 2 | The slowest speed available. |
| Mbps |
|
| Default | Ensures compatibility with |
|
| 802.11b or 802.11g devices |
| All | Ensures compatibility with all |
|
| devices. |
11g Protection | Ensures that your wireless access point does | |
Mode | not interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11g | |
| networks cause collisions on 802.11b networks, | |
| so the Protection Mode forces the 802.11g | |
| network to negotiate around the 802.11b | |
| network. |
|
| The options are: | |
| Disable | 802.11g Protection Mode is |
|
| never used. |
| Auto | 802.11g Protection Mode is used |
|
| if either an 802.11b client joins |
|
| the network or the access point |
|
| detects an 802.11b network on |
|
| the same channel. Default |
|
| setting. |
WDS Mode | Enables WDS mode, which allows you to share | |
| and expand your network with other wireless | |
access points. The WDS fields, WDS Restrict Mode and WDS Restrict MAC address become active once WDS is enabled.
Set up the access point’s with the same Wireless SSID and security settings.
When WDS mode is enabled, any access point, if configured to your access point’s settings, can connect to your network. The default is disabled.
