The Advanced screen allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN
interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the
transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS
threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon
interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long
preambles are used. Click Save/Apply to set new advanced wireless options.
Field Description
Band Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x
standards. The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n
units to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE
802.11x devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE
802.11g creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE
802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz.
(IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE
802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)
