DESCRIPTION

 

 

Operating

Choose this according to the wireless mode(s) used in your network.

 

 

Mode

Mixed - Select this if the wireless clients in your network use different wireless

 

 

 

 

 

 

modes (for example, IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.1n modes)

 

 

 

Green - Select this if the wireless clients in your network uses only one type of

 

 

 

wireless mode (for example, IEEEE 802.11 n only)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Channel

Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.

 

 

Bandwidth

It is recommended that you select 20/40 MHz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices

 

 

 

in your neighborhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guard Interval

Select Auto to increase data throughput. However, this may make data transfer

 

 

 

more prone to errors.

 

 

 

Select Long to prioritize data integrity. This may be because your wireless network

 

 

 

is busy and congested or the WAP3205 is located in an environment prone to radio

 

 

 

interference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extension

This is set to Auto by default.

 

 

Channel

If you select 20/40 MHz as your Channel Bandwidth, the extension channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

enables the WAP3205 to get higher data throughput. This also lowers radio

 

 

 

interference and traffic.

DESCRIPTION

Enable WMM QoS

Check this to have the WAP3205 automatically give a service a priority level

 

according to the ToS value in the IP header of packets it sends. WMM QoS

 

(Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service) gives high priority to voice and video,

 

which makes them run more smoothly.
