Table 11 Wireless LAN > Wireless Settings: Root AP (continued)
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Wireless Mode | If you are in the Wireless LAN > Wireless Settings or Wireless LAN > Wireless |
| Settings- 2.4G screen, you can select from the following: |
| • 802.11b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to |
| associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. |
| • 802.11b/g/n to allow IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN |
| devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of the NWA might be |
| reduced. |
| • 802.11n to allow only IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the |
| NWA. |
| If you are in the Wireless LAN > Wireless Settings- 5G screen, you can select from |
| the following: |
| • 802.11a/n to allow IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to |
| associate with the NWA. |
| • 802.11a to allow only IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the |
| NWA. |
| • 802.11n to allow only IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the |
| NWA. |
| • 802.11a/n/ac to allow IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11ac compliant |
| WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of the NWA might be |
| reduced. |

|
Channel | Select the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region from the |
| |
|
|
Channel Width | This field displays only when you select 802.11n, 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n or |
| 802.11a/n/ac in the Wireless Mode field. |
| A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz |
| channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps. However, not all |
| devices support 40MHz channels. |
| Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network. |
| It is recommended that you select 20/40MHz. This allows the NWA to adjust the channel |
| bandwidth depending on network conditions. |
| Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your |
| neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. |
|
|
Select SSID | The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is |
Profile | associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same |
| SSID. You can have up to four SSIDs active at the same time. |
Note: If you are configuring the NWA from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the NWA’s SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the NWA’s new settings.
#This is the index number of each SSID profile.
Active | Select the check box to enable an SSID profile. Otherwise, clear the check box. |
|
|
Profile | Select an SSID Profile from the |
Repeater Settings
The repeater function allows the NWA in root AP or repeater mode to set up a wireless connection between it and another NWA in root AP or repeater mode.
Note: Repeater security is independent of the security settings between the NWA and any wireless clients.
Local MAC | Local MAC Address is the MAC address of your NWA. |
