Operating Mode | Select MBSSID in this field to display the screen as shown |
|
|
802.11 Mode | This makes sure that only compliant WLAN devices can associate |
| with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN |
| devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN |
| devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 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. |
| Select 802.11a to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN |
| devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11n/g to allow both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11g |
| compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The |
| transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. |
| Select 802.11n/a to allow both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a |
| compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The |
| transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. |
| The options in this field depend on the 802.11 modes that your |
| device supports: |
| • |
| 802.11n/a. |
| • |
| and 802.11a. |
| • |
| 802.11b/g. |
|
|
Channel Width | This field displays only when you select 802.11n/g or 802.11n/a |
| in the 802.11 Radio 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 20/40 (20/40 MHz). This allows |
| the NWA to adjust the channel bandwidth depending on network |
| conditions. |
| Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other |
| wireless devices in your neighborhood. |
