LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
SSID Profile | The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is |
| associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same |
| SSID. |
| In this field, select the SSID profile of the AP you want to use. Click Apply. |
| The SSID used in the selected SSID profile automatically changes to be the one you select |
| in the Site Survey screen. |
| Set the security configuration for this operating mode in the Wireless LAN > Security |
| screen. Check the Dashboard screen to check if the settings you set show in the WLAN |
| information. |
| Note: If you are configuring the |
| and you change the |
| wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the |
| wireless settings of your computer to match the |
|
|
Channel | This shows the operating frequency/channel in use. This field is |
| Client as your operation mode. |
|
|
Channel Width | 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 |
| channel bandwidth depending on network conditions. |
| Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your |
| neighborhood or the AP do not support channel bonding. |

|
RTS/CTS | (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data |
Threshold | with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this |
| attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the |
| RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to its smallest value (1) turns on the RTS/CTS |
| handshake. |
|
|
Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It |
| is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. |

Extension | You can use CTS to self or |
channel | wireless networks or hidden wireless clients. The throughput of |
protection mode | than CTS to self. Using this mode may decrease your wireless performance. |

Aggregation | Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames along with their |
| |
| 802.11n headers and wraps them in a 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for |
| increasing bandwidth throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates. |
