This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is
inherited by all VAPs and WDS links.
Transmitter Power Select the transmitter power.
Setting a higher transmitter power increases the access point's range. A
lower power reduces interference with other access points in the vicinity.
The default value is Full. It is not necessary to change this value, unless
there are other access points in the vicinity.
This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is
inherited by all VAPs and WDS links.
Guard Interval Select the guard interval, which is the amount of time between symbol
transmissions (in nanoseconds). The guard interval allows reflections from
the previous data transmission to settle before transmitting a new symbol.
This can have the following values:
• Normal. 800ns
• Short. 400ns
Selecting Short can increase throughput. However, in some cases it can
also increase error rate, due to increased sensitivity to RF reflections.
