can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.

Data Rate

The standard IEEE 802.11b/11g supports 1, 2, 5.5, 11 / 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. You can choose the rate that the device uses for data transmission. The default value is “auto”. The device will use the highest possible selected transmission rate.

Beacon Interval

The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacons in mini-seconds. The default beacon interval is 100.

Broadcast SSID

Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically. If you are building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide better security. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device must connect this device by manually configure the SSID in your client settings.

Int. Roaming

This function will let Wireless Stations roam among a network environment with multiple devices. Wireless Stations are able to switch from one device to another as they move between the coverage areas. Users can have more wireless working range. An example as the following figure

You should comply with the following instructions to roam among the wireless coverage areas.

NoteFor implementing the roaming function, the setting MUST comply the following two items.

zAll the devices must be in the same subnet network and the SSID must be the same.

zIf you use the 802.1x authentication, you need to have the user profile in these devices for the roaming station.
