4.4.5 Configuring Advanced Network Settings
Configure the advanced wireless settings for your access point using the screens in this section. Leave these settings to their default
values if you are not sure what values to enter.
Data Rate Select a data rate from the drop-down list. The
data rate affects throughput. If you select a low data rate
value, for example, the throughput is reduced but the
transmission distance increases.
Transmit Power Lets you increase or decrease transmit
power. Higher transmit power may prevent connections to the
network, while the lower transmit power can prevent clients
from connecting to the device.
RTS/CTS Threshold Specify the threshold package size for
RTC/CTS. A small number causes RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often and consumes more bandwidth.
Distance Specify the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop high-speed connections.
Aggregation Merges data packets into one packet. This option reduces the number of packets, but increases packet sizes.
Wireless Traffic Shaping
Enable Traffic Shaping Enable or disable the regulation of
packet flow leaving an interface for improved QoS.
Incoming Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission
speed used for downloading.
Outgoing Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission
speed used for uploading.
Total Percentage Specify the total percentage of the wireless traffic that is shaped.
SSID1 to SSID4 Specify the percentage of the wireless traffic that is shaped for a specific SSID.
