all of its wireless clients. The available channel settings are limited by local
regulations. (Default: 1; Range: 1-11)
NOTE
If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from another wireless
device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate interference and increase performance.
Channels 1, 6, and 11, as the three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band, are preferred.
• Auto Channel Select – Enables the unit to automatically select an available
radio channel. (Default: Enabled)
• Working Mode – Selects the operating mode for the 802.11g radio. (Default:
B/G Mixed Mode)
» B/G Mixed Mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate
with the unit (up to 54 Mbps).
» B Only Mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the
unit, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates
(up to 11 Mbps).
• Transmit Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the
unit. The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range.
Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum
supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do not
interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Options:
Auto, Full, Min; Default: Auto)
• Tx Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the unit transmits unicast
packets on the Wi-Fi interface. The maximum transmission distance is
affected by the data rate. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission
distance. (Default: Auto)
• RTS Threshold (256~2432) – Sets the packet size threshold at which a
Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the
sending the data frame. The unit sends RTS frames to a receiving station to
negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station
sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the unit that it can start sending
data. If a packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS
(Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled. Units
contending for the medium may not be aware of each other, and the RTS/CTS
