mode.
SSID Broadcast – When enabled, the access point radio does not include its SSID in beacon messages. Nor does it respond to probe requests from clients that do not include a fixed SSID. (Default: Disable)
Turbo Mode – The normal 802.11a wireless operation mode provides connections up to 54 Mbps. Turbo Mode is an enhanced mode (not regulated in IEEE 802.11a) that provides a higher data rate of up to 108 Mbps. Enabling Turbo Mode allows the wireless bridge to provide connections up to 108 Mbps. (Default: Disabled)
Note: In normal mode, the wireless bridge provides a channel bandwidth of 20 MHz, and supports the maximum number of channels permitted by local regulations (e.g., 11 channels for the United States). In Turbo Mode, the channel bandwidth is increased to 40 MHz to support the increased data rate. However, this reduces the number of channels supported (e.g., 5 channels for the United States).
Radio Channel – The radio channel that the Normal Mode wireless bridge uses to communicate with
wireless clients. When multiple wireless bridges are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring wireless bridges at least four channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, in the United States you can deploy up to four wireless bridges in the same area (e.g., channels 36, 56, 149, 165). Also note that the channel for
wireless clients is automatically set to the same Turbo Mode as that used by the wireless bridge to which it
is linked. (Default: Channel 60 for normal mode, and channel 42 for Turbo mode)
