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. |

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. |
Address |
|
|
|
Repeater SSID | Select the SSID profile you want to use for repeater connections with an AP or repeater or |
Profile | regular wireless connections with wireless clients. |
| Note: You can only configure None, or |
| repeater connection. |
|
|
Root MAC | Specify the peer device’s MAC address. The peer device can be a NWA in either root AP |
Address | mode or repeater mode. |
|
|
Advanced Settings |

|
|
Beacon Interval | When a wirelessly network device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval. |
| This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells |
| receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in lowpower mode before waking |
| up to handle the beacon. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point. |
